and it was largely unpleasant. I have also filled the thing 1/4 full.

here's to hoping we figure out what's wrong with me though

I recall you saying this was to test your cortisol levels and that you've had the bucket since November.

What are your symptoms and whatnot?

I wanna pee in a bucket, too.

I have tachycardia and a yet-undignosed heart condition. I have also put on about 20 lbs since I started Crossfit last summer, which could be a coincidence (and also obviously some muscle mass), or it could be elevated cortisol levels (from my heart rate getting up to the high 190s during my workouts) causing me to store fat.

The bucket is almost full. And I accidentally ate a bunch of asparagus at lunch

I'm glad I asked. That's interesting.

I thought I might have tachycardia for a second, but I checked, and I don't.

Way of the road.

You doing a 24 hour urine collection specifically to test the Cortisol?

Or are they doing a general all around 24 urine test as well?

I'm assuming they are trying to rule out Cushings? or some other pituitary gland or adrenal gland problem?

This Cushing's stuff is fascinating! I totally know a couple old dudes with Pseudo-Cushing's from heavy drinking every day.
