My doctor is going to run a cortisol test on me. I seem to be gaining weight but not eating much. I lost my thyroid in 2007 and I also had a hysterectomy within two months.
The TSH has always stayed the same. It is generally the first test a doctor runs on me as I am always cold and tired. I did read stress could cause trouble and I have been under constant stress for quite a while.
Anyone familiar with a cortisol problem and what they do about it?
Thanks and I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas
