If so - should treatment be in this order?

ADRENALS

B12

THYROID

DHEA

TESTOSTERONE

Not neceaasrily, adrenals, and SOME testosterone can be started to gether. The

testosterone will help the adrelas and the insulin resistance. Then B12 and

thyroid could be started next and lastly DHEA.

Ok - Thanks.

His MD didn't want to prescribe Cortef b/c he thought it would raise

his blood sugar.

WILL IT???

That's why I'm thinking of starting him on Isocort.

Also, his B12 is REALLY low: 243 (193-982)

Most of his symptoms are low B12 - testosterone, not adrenal.

His Saliva tests were pathetically low:

CORTISOL

8am 3 (13-24)

12 noon 8 (5-10)

5pm 1 (3-8)

midnight <1 (1-4)

DHEA = 1 (3-10)

BUT his blood work wasn't as bad:

STIM test:

Baseline Cortisol: 19.7

Cortisol 1/2 hr: 25.7

Cortisol 1 hr: 29.0

Interpretation of ACTH STIM Test:

Baseline Cortisol: >6 ug/dl

Peak Cortisol: >20 ug/dl

AM CORTISOL

19.8 (2-23)

FERRITIN

59 (20-300)

Microsomal Antibody

Thyroid Peroxidase Ab

0.3 (0.0-3.9 IU/ml)

SERUM TESTOSTERONE

158L (350-720 ngg/dL)

ANA by IFA, IgG Titer

1.40

Anti-Nuclear Antibody

*DETECTED

So I'm wondering what you think of his adrenals???

AND

Is it safe to start him on Isocort while he's on meds for type2 Diabetes?

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!

I am also Diabetic and when I take HC my glucose goes down as it helps

the thyroid work which lowers glucose and insulin reisstance. Now if he

takes TOO MUCH, it will have the opposite effect.

Oh, that's really good to know! Thank you!

Would you mind glancing through his labs and let me know if you think

Isocort would do it for him?

Also, his B12 is REALLY low: 243 (193-982)

No Isocort will not be anywhere near enough for these labs. The bad news is this

si most liekly pituitary. His adrenals responded well to the stim, which means

the adrenals CAN respond to ACTH. He should have DOUBLED wiht the stim in an

hour so adrenals are weak, but still functional. Did they do an ACTH serum? That

also would have helped clarify a pituitary problem. but either wya with these

saliva labs he will need HC. And LOTS of testosterone! Iron would also be

helpful.
