I have been a competitive bodybuilder for the past 20 years. This last year has been rough. May i tore my hamstring, June came a car accident, and August i ended up in ICU due to a infection from a tooth that went into my blood. My new pain mgt. / rejuvenation Doc says i have severe low cortisol and wants to put me on meds. I feel pretty good most of the time and this doc is freaking me out...
My 24 hr urine test says my Aldosterone and Cortisol levels are almost undetectable ( <3ug /24hr). He wants to put me on a cortisol medication. I haven't filled the script yet but i think its methylpredisone. Anyone know what this, any experiences...side effects? .... HELP!
