Cortisol is a hormone that plays a role in the metabolism of proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates, among other functions
Heat, cold, infection, trauma, exercise, obesity, and debilitating disease can influence cortisol concentrations. Pregnancy, physical and emotional stress, and illness can increase cortisol levels. Cortisol levels may also increase as a result of hyperthyroidism or obesity. A number of drugs can also increase levels, particularly oral contraceptives (birth control pills), hydrocortisone (the synthetic form of cortisol), and spironolactone.
as you can see a heap of things can be affecting this level. you also have depression, anxiety and high stress so soemthing to bear in mind and not just jumping to worst case scenario. i know easier said than done ive done it many many times myself.
as there as so many possible cause and since your on contraceptives as well that could be it as well. the urine test will help determine more as well- annoying i know
the situation with your psychiatrist does sound very frustrating. your gp can also send results to your psychiatrist to have a read and also ask for their opinion as well, next time you see your gp you could suggest that as well. they mainy want your results to check for your levels and thyroid and things like that as you can get other tablets to control those levels and the effects it has on your body and possibly reducing the severity of you depression as well. but if they are clear then he can still contiue on with the plans he has for you.
i know receptionists get busy but they can call people back, it isnt really that hard. give them until your lunch break then ring reception back and just bump it up abit
lol ill take that as a compliment
big hugs to you and sitting with you, learnign about what you do where i can
