I was asked by the GP to remind him, when I reached 3mg in my tapering, that I should have a synacthen test. I have now done so. However, I am being sent for an ACTH blood test
Is this the same thing (I don't think so as I have not been asked to miss the steroid dose and there is no indication that this ACTH test involves two samples of blood etc).
Or is there something I am not understanding?
Before I challenge the GP I'd be grateful for any clarification from members here.
Thank you.
