Hi all, I am facing a strange situation and I am looking for some guidance. I've seen a lot of doctors and no result until now.
I am 35 and always did sports. Last February I took a weak oral aas and gained some weight.Major mistake I know! Gained 5 kgs from 95 to 100 kgs
Two months later i got gyno ( no gland only fat). Went to the doctor and he gave me tamoxifen after some labs. On those labs I had a urine cortisol of 400 ( Max 60).
I've tested ten times since then and cortisol is always over 400 sometimes 600. Salivary and blood cortisol are ok.
Cushing has been discard. I lost 12 kgs since march and gained fat ( lost muscle mass). What a disastrous outcome!!!!
Doctors think that my urinary cortisol is not real , that is influenced by some supplement or that my urine is weird and labs are counting other stuff as cortisol. Others think it's real and I ve with adrenal stress.
I am trying to maintain the same diet and exercise but I am still loosing muscle and gaining fat.
I haven't got any solution from doctors and I don't have a explanation for this.
Having fat on my chest is very disturbing. I want to get rid of it but don't know how since I think I am in a constant catabolic state.
I love gym and running but I am afraid of loosing even more mass and becoming a skinny fat with.
Any idea or suggestions
