Trouble with ordering adrenal stress test...

I was officially diagnosed with Hashimoto's 2 weeks ago and my endocrinologist has sent me for an ACTH test, the results of which have come back normal.

Despite being hypothyroid/Hashi's I have great difficulty gaining weight despite eating a lot and it's been suggested I try an adrenal stress test online.

Unfortunately when I tried to go ahead with ordering one through one of the specialist labs I have to enter a practitioner's account number. This is something I don't have access to, so would that mean that I would need to contact my GP to let them know about this? Or would the practice be able to do an adrenal test instead?

Thanks

Hi Rosetrees, thanks for your answer.

I wasn't entirely sure but I'm glad I've now got the answer.
