Thyroiditis
So it's important to get properly diagnosed (and not just by the TSH) -
full panel including antibodies (IMO)

I think I may have stumbled upon a problem. While going over my
weekly bloodwork, my transplant coordinator mentioned that my cortisol
level was .8, not 8, 0.8. This is dangerously low. I don't quite
know what to do now. I called my endocrinologist. He's the one who
ordered the test. The nurse asked me to call the lab and have it
faxed to them directly, and that's the last I heard from them.

steroid hormones. "

I can't sleep. My AM cortisol level is 0.8, really low. No wonder I
feel so bad. Oh my goodness, I feel just awful!
