My AM cortisol is 17.8 and after a 30min ACTH stim is was 24.5. Should I look into this ?
I would like to hear Marianco's thoughts on this one too:

I think you have to take both how the individual feels as well as their labs. Some might feel ok with an am cortisol level of 17.8. Mine was 17 and after learning about symptoms of adrenal insufficiency, I fit it to a T. It wasn't until I added thyroid meds that I began to realize the severe anxiety associated with a distressed adrenal system. Now, I'm on 8 isocort/day as well as 1.25 grains of armour and 50mcg of synthroid. I try and keep my replacement ratio at about 92% T4 to 8% T3(what the body normally produces). So far so good, but my morning temperatures are still LOW. This morning it was 96.3.
