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

adrenal insufficiency/fatigue testing
We are about to send a saliva test off to Genova, but I saw a post by someone about a year ago saying that a GP could do a blood test for
ACTH
, aldosterone and cortisol and renin. Would this give an indication of adrenal insufficiency?

ACTH stimulation test - Short Synacthen Test
Hello lovely people. Do you recommend the short synacthen test? Is it going to tell me anything useful. I'm not keen on any side-effects. I know I would have to come off my nutri adrenals before hand. Many thanks. Anna.

Tests for ACTH deficiency
Other than the short SynACTHen, can anyone recommend any tests for secondary adrenal insufficiency? As a much removed pituitary patient and persistence of symptoms despite T3 (which has definitely helped but not cured) I'm beginning to think of it as a possible culprit. As all find, it takes a good 3

Hashimoto's for 24 years and gastric dumping + most symptoms of Addison's but recently got "normal" syncathen test result what can I do??
So now I wonder if this is more to do with my adrenals than dumping syndrome - I have not had my
ACTH
tested when the syncathen test was done. If anyone has any ideas I would love to hear from you.
