Hi Pfinstegg. I'm sorry to post off-topic on this thread, but I wanted to get your attention. If you have a moment, could you go over to the Alternative Medicine board and reply to my question about the use of acupuncture for lowering cortisol levels? Do you know whether it would help? I did a VERY quick, inadequate search, and it looks as if acupuncture might actually elevate cortisol somewhat. If that's the case, then that's not for me. I have highly elevated cortisol levels. I do not appear Cushingoid AT ALL, and I had a negative DST (i.e., I did suppress cortisol). Nevertheless, my 24-hr. urinary free cortisol is always high (I feel my hippocampus disintegrating as we speak!).
