First referral to an endocrinologist - tips to make most of this opportunity please.....
Or will they just check serum cortisol and then maybe
ACTH
stimulation test?

ACTH
test which is not yet back. Does anyone know if these results are ok? Really trying to get to the bottom of low blood pressure/low heart rate/general fatigue and weakness symptoms. thanks :-)

More results help please...T3 or NDT?
If it didn’t work then he would do more tests, &/or look at low level steroid treatment (as I had a normal results short synacthen/
ACTH
test done, but felt GREAT after the steroid injection & had my first pain free days in over 2 years!!)

Newly diagnosed hypothyroidism
I went to see an Endocrinologist last week and awaiting the results of a series of blood tests including
ACTH
which I was told take about 10days. My GP has signed me off from work for 3 months.

Injecting before MMA & Homocysteine tests?
I'm going up the hospital early Monday as I've requested the following tests and got the sheet to take with them listed: MMA & Homocysteine Copper & Zinc Morning Cortisol & baseline
ACTH
Is it OK for me to keep injecting or should I stop?

Biting the Bullet and going private
I saw him on Saturday, full bloods taken, and yesterday I had the
ACTH
TEST for secondary hypothyroidism, as he seems to think my pituitary gland is not working properly. I am seeing him Friday for the results.

An insight into Dr Skinner and Dr Lindner's knowledge in diagnosing and treating hypo patients.
In fact physicians know better than to try to use pituitary hormone levels, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) or adrenocorticotrophic hormone (
ACTH
),to diagnose or treat hypogonadism or adrenal insufficiency.

Cortisol
He also ordered
acth
plasma, and that was normal. Why could all of my other bloodwork be normal, including the
acth
plasma, but my cortisol be low? Should I be worried? Could this be contributing to my chronic pain? I'm waiting on him to review that bloodwork and call me in.

how to interpret Synacthen test results
Hello, Any idea how this
ACTH
test results mean? This was long synacthen depot test with intramuscular injection not I.V.

Finally Endo is listening
She filled out a lab requisition for a bunch of hormone tests including
ACTH
and cortisol and LH, FSH, estrogen and whatnot. She wants me to get this done SOON! That's the 'boo' part. Big problem.

ACTH numbers?
I would like to know what the collective levels of
ACTH
are . When I first started seeing my endocrinologist my numbers were 103,193,196. This when I started my daily hydrocortisone regimen . I take 20mg right when I rise and then 10mg @ 1. The lowest I was able to get my
ACTH
was 28 once.
