No ACTH
Went and had my adrenals stimulated by synthetic IV
ACTH
. My adrenals responded and produced sufficient cortisol apparently as they called the test a success. Why am I wondering why my body had no
ACTH
to stimulate my adrenals on its own???

Nutri Adrenal Extra (NAX)......Help with Arthritis
Hi, I have been taking NAX (recommended by Dr Peatfield)...My Cortisol and
ACTH

Exhausted
I have had recent bloods and not back yet but the ones prior... i didnt have
ACTH
(NON DETECTABLE) and cortisol is 45mmoL which is far too low on the 220 minimum at 8am needed. Hydrocortisone 30-40mg per day. I am still feeling shattered.

Can a Short Synacthen identify Secondary Adrenal Insufficiency?
The test entails administration of an
ACTH
bio-similar agent to stimulate the Adrenal Glands to produce Cortisol then blood tests are taken at 30 and 60 minutes post administration however surely this will only identify issues with Adrenal and not the
ACTH
producing cells in the Pituitary Gland - am

Still dont feel well!
The warm weather wont be helping with this i'm sure. i have little motivation and would rather sit down than do anything energetic. i did have low morning cortisol a while ago and has the
acth
stimulation test but it came back okay.

HC prescription based on saliva test?
I feel worse and endo sent me for an
ACTH
stimulation test, waiting for result. If that will be normal, I would redo the saliva test as something is surely not right (in 2013 noon cortisol was only 3.2 – range: 1.2-17.8 nM.
