Re: cortrosyn stimulation test to test cortisol

[Guest guest]

Had one today! No reaction except exhaustion from the effort. They

want you to be as calm as possible so that your cortisol rates will be

accurate so the nurse who did mine, was as sweet as could be. I was

very concerned about reactions - the nurse said she knew of some but no

one had ever had a reaction in her experience.

cortrosyn stimulation test to test cortisol

has anyone had a cortrosyn stimulation test and had a negative reaction

from the test? It is being suggested by an endocrinologist to test

cortisol levels. thanks

Hi Mindy,

I found this test very useful and had no bad reactions. Do you feel wretched in

the morning? I has the test in the morning and was told to have no breakfast.

Within a few minutes of the test (and no food) I was feeling almost human...

You could also consider one of the 24 hour tests to see how your cortisol

changes during the day.

Kindest regards,

Annette, are you taking anything for your adrenals now? I have very low

cortisol and I feel different after the test too - you said it well: " I

was feeling half-way human " . It's a feeling I haven't had in years. I

wonder if the test will result in any treatment. Dare I hope?

may naturopath says adrenals of PWC's do respond to the test. It is like

whipping a tired horse. With such a strong stimulation adrenals will work.

So,it does not give any result about our tired adrenals.

Yes; I think the longer one is at least four hours long.
