From: Clinical biochemistry discussion list on behalf of David Burgess

Subject: Cause of low 9 am cortisol but normal SST.
Baseline cortisol 127 nmol/l (at 9 am) 30 minutes post synacthen 807.
(not a shift worker) but has 4 kids!! Cortisol was done by one of the
rheumatologists after she complained of tiredness. 9 am cortisol was
slightly low (150 ish)- therefore SST was performed. Not on
medication/herbal tonics? Normal menstrual cycle, sleep pattern? Poor
sleep due to 4 kids?
Any other ideas please?
