Re: new labs that'll help us figure some stuff out maybe, val - and nick!! HELP

[Guest guest]

Along with the thyroid labs, my doc ordered an ACTH plasma (I know that's

different than a stim test, which I had a few years back, and was normal, at

least my mainstream doc thought it was, but my body is at a different place now,

of course) ACTH 18 (range: 5-27). At the same time, he also looked at

pituitary issues - my prolactin 10.7 (range: 3-30), but vasopressin was very

low. i know that's out of the scope of this list. Just don't know if that

gives you any more info.

SO, my reverse T3 dominance (ratio: 11) just stays an issue and I don't get

enough thyroid hormone until I fix this other stuff?!

Okay, I just set up a call with you, but want to make sure I can email you labs

so you'll have them in front of you, as I know you deal with so many folks and

want you to have all the facts.

> Did you have sex hormones done wiht this lab? I am NOT buying the high cortils

on these resulkts. YOur low SigA adn low insulin Both say other wise. They

scream LOW cortiosl. So what I would say is you have a very messed up HPA or

;s on the way. I knwo that is not good news but when antibodies attack a

gland this si the usual hormone poutput results. Think of it as Hashi's of the

Adrenals. Have oyu had adrneal antibodies tested? I think I would have. I also

think when you tried Cortef you most lieky neded high dose adn took too little.
