Adrenal Fatigue Testing

[Guest guest]

I've been making the rounds with some of my doctors to really try to

get to the bottom of some of my symptoms. I asked my GP (who I only

use at this point for blood tests, etc) for a full panel, TSH and

also to test my adrenals. I won't get into the " par-for-the-course "

dimissal of symptoms and refusal to test some things but I have a

question. He did the blood panel (blood chem, etc) but said he could

not do the adrenal test because it involves a " big process " . The

bloodwork I did today required fasting so I thought that would be

fine to do this test as well. Can someone who has had that adrenal

testing done let me know what it really involves? Needless to say,

he did not allow a test for T3, T4, anti-thyroid, Celiac or the

Adrenals. What a gem. I plan to begin care with a Naturopath who

was recommended to me along with my current Endo at U of Penn. I will

be seeing a gastroentologist for my digestive issues next week. My

New Years resolution this year is to just keep on my doctors no

matter what to get to the bottom of all of my symptoms. I don't care

if Ihave to go back every week or see a new doctor every week but I

want ALL of my symptoms to be diagnosed and not simply dismissed

ANYMORE.

Thanks in advance for any info on the adrenal testing.
