My endo dr. has never mentioned "hypercortisolemia" - this is the first I've heard the term. However, I think my endo dr. passed the test when he told me exactly what some of you have already posted - that "there is currently no specific treatment for abnormalities in the cortisol/HPA axis." he's been willing to try certain replacement therapies with me because of my severe treatment-resistant depression and because I had a complete remission of my depression last summer when I was put on methylprednisolone (I think I spelled that correctly) during a bout of pneumonia.
He says "Let's try this and test levels again and if it helps and it's not going to hurt yo uin the long run, then great...."
so..we'll see.
