hi tracy: there is a simple blood test that can be done to check your blood cortisol levels , you will have to give 2 blood samples , first blood test will have to be taken before 9:00 am and the second will have to be taken around 6:00 pm
this is how I found out that my body was making too much cortisol in the morning, and like yourself i also felt my worst in the morning ,but high cortisol and low cortisol can give you the same symtoms in the mornings ,( these blood tests can be ordered through your doctor )
