Hello All

I have been suffering from low cortisol for almost 4 years now. My symptoms began after I suffered a very bad fall that caused a TBI.

I tend to have episodes of low cortisol a few times a year and when tests are ran it does confirm low cortisol production. Being that all my other hormones aren’t being affected my endo believes it’s secondary adrenal insufficiency. He’s still not certain what is causing the drop in cortisol production so I’ll be doing a brain MRI with contrast to look at the pituitary function.

I was put on a trial dose of cortisone to see how my body responds to it, since I’m currently experiencing a low cortisol episode.

Has anyone experienced low cortisol after a TBI?

Any advice?
