----------------------------------------------------------- From: liltrubin Message 14 in Discussion Dawn: Your Cortisol level fluctuates throughout the day so in order to get an idea of how high it really is you really need the 8 AM test. My doctor uses their own labs and my insurance does not pay for it-:) It is not optional with them!!!! HUGS, Tina If a cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind, of what, then, is an empty desk?

He did a quick exam of my adreanals, tapping and slight pressure, I always have pain and pressure in that exact spot, right through the back. He was not impressed with my hump and would not even look at my stretch marks, Cushings was never even brought up. I went for the bloodwork the next morning at 8:00 and have a follow up on 12/04/07. do you think the tests will be helpful. thanks, Dawn ----------------------------------------------------------- To stop getting this e-mail, or change how often it arrives, go to your E-mail Settings. http://groups.msn.com/PituitaryChat/_emailsettings.msnw Need help?
