ACTH Stim test after stopping abiraterone & prednisone
But I can't help but wonder if I am cutting off my nose to spite my face and I should have the
ACTH
Stim test.

Who is confused? My surgery or me?
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?

adrenals not working
Last month my endo did
ACTH
testing and said my Adrenal glands are not working and to increase hydrocortisone to 3tabs in am and 1 tab in Pm. I’m sure this explains why I have been feeling so poorly and the little increase helps.

"Intetesting conversation with Endocrinologist!"
she said we will get you an
ACTH
test done, if it's 250, that's regarded as normal. ...she asked how I was feeling, flooded in pain, deathly fatigue, basically housebound, she suggested another appointment with Rheumatology, but quite honestly I don't think I will, when you are told you have Fibromyalgia

Good outcome, and relief for the time being
They performed at 411 after
ACTH
was administered. I am delighted. Also quite pleased that hydrocortisone will replace prednisolone when I have the inevitable surgery on the pituitary gland and hopefully I won’t have to take pred for the rest of my life.

Low cortisol
gave hyperthyroidism especially with my symptoms of fatigue, abdominal pain, weakness and graves in my family, etc however I did the tests and my TSH have now come back in range (unmedicated ) but she said my cortisol should have been really 300+ but it’s come back at 230 so she’s referred me for an

Looking for help :(
Had an appt with my GP today as I am honestly suffering with symptoms and my recent
ACTH
, RF, CRP etc all came back normal. I was really banking on one of these being the cause because I’d been told my thyroid is fine. The only thats not normal is my FSH, prolactin and LH.

A few Things ….
I had an
ACTH
test yesterday as my recent cortisol level was low. I was told my TSH would be tested but not T4 and T3. However when I got there, it was a full thyroid profile being done. I had breakfast in the morning but no caffeine.

Another update on potential meds intolerance
I have been prescribed by two of my endos hydrocortisone and even prednisone for a couple of months as my
ACTH
is also low in range. Interestingly aldosterone is double the range! Normally should be low alonside low cort, so I wasn't prescribed Florinef for low aldo.

Endo recommendation Tunbridge Wells
I think there may be some pituatry issue going on … I had a massive boost from the synacthen test that lasted about 5 days as if d been given steroids so I suspect I can produce
ACTH
but that unless stimulated I’m not.

ACTH

Need encouragement :(
I've had so many tests, worked on a myriad of things - iron infusion (didn't lift my crushing fatigue or didn't stop hairloss), estrogen prog patch, trying most meds multiple NDTs and synthetics, had several cortisol salivary and blood tests,
acth
, aldosterone, rt3 etc.

My first endocrinologist visit
Comprehensive metabolic panel Aldosterone Renin Cortisol (baseline)
ACTH
(baseline) DHEA Will these tests even reveal anything if I'm on 7 mg pred? Was he correct in ordering them? Any advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated, as I'm a bit worried he doesn't know what he's doing.

symptomatic bm’s
The
ACTH
was borderline and there was a flat response to the glucagon test. In the same year I paid for a saliva test which showed the level of cortisol to be ok. So I only have to take oral hydrocortisone if I’m having surgery, in stressful situations or injury.
