When I read this "treatment plan", I cried. I cried for her and I cried for me and I cried for all of you (don't get the wrong idea, I didn't sob for hours. It was a few tears for each of us) who have been mistreated by physicians who have "great" reputations and very little knowledge.
This woman was nearly at the point of "definitive adrenal insufficiency" with her cortisol results but was not given an ACTH stimulation test. She was told to meditate and read for 20 minutes a day. This was in 2015, we are nearly to 2017. So much life wasted because a doctor only looked at lab ranges and had no idea about the circadian rhythm of cortisol in the human body. No amount of reading inspirational crap nor meditation has ever been documented to cure adrenal insufficiency. Worst treatment plan ever.
