Low Cortisol level????

Hi all! I'm a prior service memeber and am dealing with Veterans Affairs for my medical. I am a 28 w/f, otherwise health, UNDERweight, but now 50lbs heavier than normal. After a year of testing they finally sent off bloodwork and a 24 hour UA. Came back with low cortisol levels. I see an Endocrinologist next week. They thought it was my gall bladder..went in for surgery, and they found too many ulcers in my stomach-so no surgery. I also have had diarrhea for 4 months STRAIGHT! So my question is....if my Cortisol levels are low, why am I gaining weight??? This is the only symptom that I have that does not match??? Someone please help! Getting sicker..and heavier!! (Cushing's is related to HIGH cortisol levels).

I have a history of kidney stones and pain in my right upper quadrant. THey have found sluge in my gall bladder, but since I have stopped eating anything green and that seemed to stop the attacks. Kidney stones where made up of calcium and phosphate. All caffeeine has been cut & very limited dairy (due to stones), any high fat food has been cut. RX: Hydrocodone for shoulder pain, Lorazapam for night sleep, Cyclobenzaprine for my shoulder, Cholestyramine for the diarrhea (which has not worked), and Pantoprazole for my ulcers. I'm trying to stay away from adding anymore meds if I can help it. I am not preggo, am not on B.C., I am now up to 150lbs. I'm 59'. I eat less than a 1000 calories a day-as I have my whole life. I'm VERY active-up until recently when I'm struggling just to get out of bed. My energy would last all day, now, I have none. Now I've been sick (cold, stomach flu, just icky feeling) nonstop. I never feel 'good' anymore. There is cancer in my fam and diabetes. Both my parents are deceased (2001). Dr. have now put me on Promethazine-due to my vommiting. I went from a size 0 to a 9/10 in womens! I have gained excessive abdom. fat. but I do not have the look of Cushings. My face isn't mis-shaped, but otherwise I have EVERY sysmptom of Cushings and Addison's besides the 'weight loss'. I am not a junk food eater, and do not take any weight loss remedies. I'm EXTREMLY moody...so moody I can't stand myself sometimes! I've never been like that either. Any ideas???
