I had went to the doctor because of some dry spots and my leg and he said it was just non-shedding dry skin. He noticed that my face was red and decided to check my cortisol level, he had me take a pill at 11:00pm and had blood drawn the next moring at 8:00 am. He said that the test was called a cortisol suppression test. The results came back 0.8 which he said showed that it was not my cortisol. He was checking for Cushings. But here are the other results since he went ahead and did other blood work also. My wbc 13.6, hemoglobin 15.1,hematocrit 45.1, Neutrophils 83, Monocytes 3, and neutrophils(absolute) 11.3. He told me to come back in 6 weeks and have bloodwork drawn again. What could this be a sign of?????
