I don't have Cushing's, sorry if that wasn't clear. I took a blood test the morning after I took that pill and the levels were decreased, so Cushing's was ruled out. What I'm concerned about is that this chronically high cortisol is throwing my body out of whack and perhaps contributing to my level of treatment resistance. I'm in a viscous cycle right now where I can't de-stress and my cortisol levels are chronically elevated - 3x normal for over a year (who knows how much longer before that?) cannot be good for me.
