I will try to be brief here: I went to the endocrinologist and had an extensive workup done for polycystic ovarian syndrome because I am fat, hairy, have bad skin and have a mom and sister with PCOS. The doctor kept scheduling me six weeks in advance and would always schedule me for afternoon appointments when I had worked all night the night before so I had to reschedule my appointment three times (to avoid sleep deprivation induced auto accidents), after which his receptionist informed me that I was no longer his patient. I had no idea there was an upper limit on the number of times you could reschedule an appointment, but I digress...
Anyway, my lab results were sent to my but now I have no doc to help me interpret them. All appear normal, except my 24 hours urinary cortisol level, which is WAY elevated. A normal result is supposed to be 105 or less; mine is 693! Aside from an adrenal tumor, what could cause this? And moreover, what the hell do I do to fix it? I have an appointment with another endo doc next month, but meanwhile I am stressing over this. Anyone shed any light for me? Thanks in advance!
