Natalie, any update from yesterday's appointment? I was praying for you earlier this morning.

She wanted to get some blood work done and then we're going to go from there. I had had my hormones checked elsewhere, and the cortisol was high. She doesn't think my symptoms match high cortisol though. So I'm not sure we're going to get any answers there.
Doing reading online, I found that prebiotics and probiotics may help lower morning cortisol. So I'm giving that a shot.
Thanks for the prayers.

Got a message that all my numbers were normal. However, my morning cortisol was 27.9 and normal range is 5.3-22.5. I think it's because I don't have the symptoms of high cortisol except for morning agitation.
I have read that a 20-30 min walk first thing in the morning helps. I have been walking 10-20 this week and think it does help some. I will have to try longer walks. 🙂
