Reposting Question About Adrenals
Is there an adrenals test -
ACTH
or something similar - as I don't see that in any of my blood test results although would have to double check. Is that another one of those that you have to do privately?

Want to know if these things are normal
Low
ACTH
but doctor not interested in finding out why. Testosterone way low hey doctor not worried. I used to work out daily and could do spin class and run miles. How do I safely get back to working out? I don't want to be fearful to exercise for a whole year!!! That won't help any of this.

Cortisol level...am I normal now?
(My
ACTH
test after the crash saw me rise from 35-67) Does this mean that I am back to normal or am I still at the lower end of normal? I am about to go in for an op and do not know whether my cortisol is still an issue.

NHS tests that may help diagnose adrenal issues
ACTH
- measures the level of the hormone in blood Adrenal antibodies - self explanatory Lyme serology - test for Lyme disease Fasting gut hormones - a test to find out if there is a pituitary tumour
ACTH
stim test - measuring the stress response of the adrenals to
ACTH
, which can assess the function

Advice please
The endo has checked by cortisol with an
ACTH
test which was normal although I think the cortisol level at 351 nmol/l at 9am in the morning could be higher, (what does everyone else think?)

Prednisone versus Nutri adrenal extra
This dose was suggested due to my Cortisol and
ACTH
being Low - Cortisol was 112 and
ACTH
was 12. However, I cannot tolorate Prednisone - it has horrendous side effects. I am waiting to see Dr P, but in the meantime I would like to try Nutri adrenal extra. Has anybody experienced this?

Prednisone and NDT -
Hi, At the moment I am taking 2 x 2.5 micrograms of Prednisone due to adrenal problems: *Both Cortisol and
ACTH
were very low (Had these tests completed privately due to NHS not doing
ACTH
- Cant aford this again!). However, I am also taking NDT (from Thailand) x 2 tablets a day.

Cortisol, ACTH, Aldosterone and DHEA
Hi, I have had my cortisol and

Prendisone and levothyroxine
I have been advised to take 2.5 Predisone due to low cortisol and
ACTH
levels. Is it safe to take these at the same time as levothyroxine and antidepresents? ..........I am a bit uncertain as to the long term effect of taking Predisone.........? Ollybear

Cortisol and ACDH
First I had my cortisol and
ACTH
done via "blue horizon" in the summer 2014. I had a really bad journey to get to the hospital - eventually I had the test(s) completed at 10.30 AM (I was fasting from the previous evening).

got saliva results ( cortisol )
I should probably check into the cause further and have a
ACTH
stim test? I read this should be done, before you start any hydrocortisone. I think I will need the HC. Was on it a few years ago, then my doctor suddenly died and I gradually went off.

New endo appointment and new blood results - help appreciated :)
That endo wouldn't prescribe a higher dose of T3 as I had surpressed TSH so I saw an endo in London last week and also had an
ACTH
stimuluation test as I took along my saliva results from Genova which suggested low afternoon/evening cortisol.

Irritable, Angry, Tired, Frustrated
This GP took it more seriously however, referred me to endocrinology and I got a call on the Friday (the next day) from the hospital saying they wanted to see me first thing tomorrow due to the cortisol results (I think they are going to do an
ACTH
stimulation test) Basically, I'm confused, I don't
