Guest guest Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Val, I never posted ACTH stim test results because I've never gotten those nor would I know how to interpret them. I just know that endo's results were " adrenal insufficiency " and he prescribed 20 mgs. cortef per day. So given that, could I still be producing some cortisol on my own even though I'm taking 30 mgs. now?

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 It depends on how he interpreted the results. I would insist on a copy of that lab and send it here. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
