Can not stand prednisone anymore. Can I get off the last 5 mg. adap?
Can I just cut back 1 mg every 2 to 3 weeks Do I need to be at normal levels cortisol snd
acth
? I I will be just fine without it. My primary care seems to think that is OK.

Dosing off prednisone.
My cortisol is low at 2.0 and the
ACTH
is low at 1.5. I am on 5 mgs prednisone and on actemra. I am having trouble getting off 4 yrs prednisone. Working with endo but she is too main stream.

Adrenal Fatigue,
- My Cortisol and
ACTH
were very low. Are there any other medications; apart from Adrenavive 11 that would support my Adrenal glands? I do have underactive Thyroid- I take NDT (Natural Desiccated Thyroid ) - readings are fine. Previously

A breath of fresh air - positive
Also prescribed further endocrine testing like
ACTH
, prolactin and others as “she needs the full picture! 😳😍😍😍 She said one of the tests is done in a clinical setting and consists of repeated blood tests to better diagnose issues. (Didn’t catch the name).

DHEA/Cortisol Ratio is Low
My
ACTH
has been elevated for the past 6 months and it has thrown me off w/thyroid meds (Synthroid). I was on 75, then on 50, now on 62.5 consistently for 8+ weeks. I really don't know what's happening with the
ACTH
.

SST SYNACHTEN TEST
They have checked cortisol in urine,
ACTH
, morning cortisol, aldosterone and couple more less viable things. In their opinion all the tests are “in range”, I should stop digging and live further as it is. I begged to make Synachten Test but was rejected. I feel desperate.

Acth and cortisol test advice please
Hi My Lady Gp has now requested
Acth
and cortisol test I have no instructions only to be done 8 to10am and it's taken to the lab immediately...this seems a different procedure to when a private Endo requested a short baseline synachthen
acth
test which was taken over the course of 60 mins

ACTH and cortisol
Guys who have high
ACTH
with normal cortisol? What's going on with our adrenal glands? Why does
ACTH
grow up, and cortisol does not collapse, because in nature it is conceived differently?

Results of short synachten test in. Can anyone shed any light on them?
But I have read that after the
ACTH
there needs to be a >200 increase in cortisol. By my calculations the rise is 147. If anyone has any feedback on these results I'd be very grateful. Thank you
