19 yr old male…Self treating since endos just say its ok
Ft3=5.8 pmol/L (3.5-6.5)
Ft4=1.59 ng/dl (0.71-1.85)
TSH=1.44 nIU/ml (0.35-5.50)8am cortisol=8.4 ng/ml (3.7-9.5)
12pm cortisol=1.7 ng/ml (1.2-3.0)
5pm cortisol=1.9 ng/ml (0.6-1.9)
10pm cortisol=1.1 ng/ml (0.4-1.0)Trouble waking in morning and sleeping at night.Fatigue’d throughout the day..feel like napping every 30mins or so;/
Wake up temp is usually 35.9 celcius…increases throughout the day and peaks at night…36.4
Currently on selegiline..10mg/week for my restless leg syndrome..
I went on prednisone 5mg/1x everyday 8am for a month and saw no difference…What should i be doing now?What you need to do is find a good Dr. and not Endo’s or Uro’s here is a good link about Adrenals and Thyroid in this I helped with a FAQ’s about Adreanls read it and the links in it this should help you understand about this problem. You should not take 5 mgs of prednisone 1 mg of Prednisone is equivalent to 4 mg of HC, but is harder on the liver to process, so Medrol seems to be the better choice for long term cortisol replacement.
Or try Isocort go slow on it taking one pill every 3 days until your up to 8 pills a day 2 every 4 hrs.

We need to focus on your several factors and shot gunning drugs is not he key especially at your age you are only making your self sicker. So stop self treating your self.Wow, I just read :

Thanks for that link….one thing that has come up on all my labs in the past 6 months has been really high DHEA, while my T, IGF-1, cortisol have been low among other quirks in my labs…All of the doctors who looked at the labs noticed the super high DHEA compared to other things going on, but did not have an explanation. So that FAQ explains it as the body’s last ditch effort somehow to raise cortisol…
Interesting…
