Hi,
I'm not looking for an ME/CFS doc, so sorry if this is a bit off-topic, but if it wasn't for the help I've got from some of you, I wouldn't even know what I was looking for.
I have a positive test result from an ACTH stimulation test, with low-normal serum ACTH at the time of the test. My endo said the result was negative and referred me to Mayo Clinic without a diagnosis. Mayo Clinic reviewed my lab result and said that they don't have anyone who sees or treats patients for adrenal insufficiency.
I'm thinking to ask my primary care for an MRI to rule out a tumor. Considering taking Isocort, if I can figure out why, in the past, I was told to avoid echinacea (maybe because of autoimmune issues?) and if that's still good advice.
I have leads for docs in Albuquerque, San Francisco area, and Reno, but if there's a good doc in state (I'm usually in Tucson), it would be preferred. Oh, and I'm in the Boulder CO area for the next 3 weeks, so that's an option, too. In the end, a good doc is worth an airplane ticket, so I'm open to any suggestions.
Thank you!!!
