Well, few weeks ago i had my first appointment with my endo, after 3 mon of HRT. The lab tests i had were all OK except for cotisol. I did Dexamethason suppresion test, and the results weren't es expected, my crtiosl was "normal" veras it was supposed to be supressed. So my doctor ordered MRI of adrenal glands, which i have to do in the following months and will see her again in 3 months. I have test results from 6 month ago(before HRT): my cortisol was normal, together with ketosteroids, MRI of hypofysis was normal, abdoiman ultrasound kidney and adrenals were normal.
I googled "high cortisol" and "dex suppresion test" and they both point to disese called cuhings syndrome, which usually inovlves a tumor of either pituritary gland or adrenal glands, and that freaked me out. I am not cancer phobic as it may seem, just that less than a year ago i had testicular tumor removed (which was non-malignant) but the idea of having to go through it all again really gets me down. On the other hand... i dont seem to ahve any other high-cortisol symptoms that i have read about and really have no clue about what might be going on. Could it all be stress, or something like that... well i surely hope it is "just stress"
p.s. sorry for not so concise writing i had so many things in my had... and i look forward to any insight from you, if anyone can help me somehow...
