Endo adding 2.5 mcgs of hydrocortisone to T4 and T3 - just need reassurance.
There may be an element of partial
ACTH
deficiency now as my
ACTH
blood test was a bit on the low side. I'm getting myself in knots about adding this. Just really worried about taking it. Does anyone have any advice. Thanks as usual.

Cortisol and ACTH Test
I'm getting this done. Since I'm nocturnal my doc said to do it in the afternoon, but I wonder if I should either go back to earlier schedule or just get up early and do it then? I have some symptoms of adrenal fatigue such as weight loss, fatigue, diarhhea, nerves/jittery and all the other stuff. I

Advice Needed - Recently started T4/T3 combo
I've had two
ACTH
tests, one whilst on hrt as he forgot to tell me to stop taking this before the test ( I had to point out to him so at that point lost faith in him but thought I would press on and try for the t3 trial), and the second test after being off hrt for 6 weeks.

Cortisol Level in ACTH Stimulation
Here is the results of the test: First Sample Cortisol(8AM): 199 nmol/l (normal Range: 123-626) Second Sample Cortisol(9AM after
ACTH
shot): 560 nmol/l (normal Range: 123-626) In one hour, the cortisol is almost tripled indicating adrenal itself is working normally.

Recovery of hormonal function after surgery??
However, about one month ago I ended up in the hospital for very low sodium, a pituitary macroadenoma was discovered, and cortisol stim tests showed low
ACTH
and I have been put on HC (and my father died taking prednisone). Surgery is scheduled.

ACTH

Can't understand ACTH results
As a result of this, the same retired GP friend said to have a 9:00 am
ACTH
blood test done and the result was 17ng/L. Range <50. GP friend says it should be higher than 47. He said that because of my symptoms and this tesult, I have secondary Addison's. Does anyone think that could be true?

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???
