What Causes Fatigue, Headaches, Weight Loss And Poor Appetite?

I am a recently retired RN, who showed an early morning Cortisol level of 2. The Endo I saw seemed to think this was ok, since my thyroid and pituitary levels are within normal limits. I am scared, since I have become extremely fatigued, headaches, weight loss, poor appetite and general malaise. My GP temporarily placed me on 10mg of Hydrocortisone PO bid. I have received Depo-cortisone Facet injections for severe Cervical stenosis x 2 since Jan. Need Facet injections to tolerate severe Cervicogenic headaches. Help!

HI
I really appreciate your concern and looking to the history given here I could sat that your over all symptoms may be functional in origin and this is nothing to worry about it, if you are still taking steroid then stop this because this wont help you instead you need to keep the stress level very low, and no need to worry about this, hope this information helps you take care and have a nice day
