Yes I've been to the QE for a short synacthen test 2 or 3 times. The department has lovely nurses, it is short - about 40 minutes. I've also had a full synacthen at a different local hospital (RHH) and it was an utter nightmare. Can I ask you which doc has referred you for short synacthen? An endo? I only got my first one after causing havoc at RH hospital. You may have to PM me the name
Yes, it will be 'normal' . Mainly because doctors don't know the difference between adrenal FATIGUE and adrenal FAILURE.
Not what you're looking for?
