Hi,
I've asked some of these questions before and didn't really get an answer so I assume nobody really knows. But here they are again if anyone does, otherwise I guess I'm going to have to do a lot of searching on the web.
Was just wondering if any of you knowledgeable people out there can answer these questions:-
If you have low levels or normal cortisol levels does this mean that CRF Antagonists will not work for you when they edventually come out?
Also if you have been a suppressor to the dexamethasone suppression test does this mean that you're cortisol levels are normal?
If you do have high cortisol levels then wouldn't that manifest itself in physical symptoms.
One thing I have noticed about when I suffer from depression is that my immune system is very strong, I never get coughs, colds or any infections and yet I smoke like a trooper. Whether that's because I go out less and because I'm too depressed to get stressed about the usual things I don't know but could it be that my cortisol levels are low?
Also, when will these CRF Antagonists be out and has anyone been on any of the trials?
Thanks.....Denise
