Sadly, doctors think Cushing's is rare due to what they are taught and will not test for it or test effectively for it


how can test it effectively?

Abnormal elevations, that is.

All elevations of cortisol is Cushing's syndrome, sadly. It should fall in the evening, not rise - that is a loss of diurnal or circadian rhythm - and that is Cushing's.
Sadly, doctors think Cushing's is rare due to what they are taught and will not test for it or test effectively for it - and people go undiagnosed so people look for explanations elsewhere but the syndrome/disease is still Cushing's.

In the early stages of adrenal fatigue,cortisol is elevated. It is usually normal or low in the morning and continues to rise during the day and evening, rather than falling. Adrenal fatigue is not to be confused with Cushing's Syndrome or Addison's Disease.

The hormone cortisol control the metabolism or breakdown of the carbohydrates, fats and proteins.

I dont remember the detailed mechanism right now but in AF your body is still producing cortisol not in sufficient quantities to breakdown the all carbos for energy then the body with the help of insulin take the not used remaining carbos and convert it into fat to store it in your body.

In adrenal insufficiently the body cant breakdown the carbos, so the body tend to take the fat for energy.

Usually is recomended to have a diet in low complex carbos. Avoid foods in high potassium because it can aggaravate muscle pain. Try to increase food with high sodium. Some people say that this can erradicate the pain related to tendon muscle. I never try it so i dont know if is true.

Cortisol have a lot of important roles in your body even some studies show that it help the thyroid hormone to enter the cell, it control too with the hormone adredaline the precipitation of the hormone insulin, etc

DISCOVERY STEP ONE: Here are exploratory questions, and if you answer yes to any of these, you may have struggling adrenal function (the revised STTM book has more questions in Chapter 5):

1) Do you have a hard time falling asleep at night?
2) Do you wake up frequently during the night?
3) Do you have a hard time waking up in the morning early, or feeling refreshed?
4) Do bright lights bother you more than they should?
5) Do you startle easily due to noise?
6) When standing from sitting or from lying down, do you feel lightheaded or dizzy?
7) Do you take things too seriously, and are easily defensive?
8 ) Do you feel you don’t cope well with certain people or events in your life?

the answer for all these questions: yes .
