Following on from my recent post about my latest blood test results.
I also have low cortisol levels and I'm about to do an ACTH stimulation test. Does anyone know if that comes back 'normal', this means that I don't have primary adrenal insufficiency, is that correct?
And does anyone know what tests would then see if I have secondary adrenal insufficiency? ACTH blood test, aldosterone blood test, DHEA blood test, insulin tolerance test, glucagon stimulation test? Should all of these be completed? Or just some of them? Are there any others which are important?
My LH, FSH, Oestradiol, Prolactin were all normal.
TSH slightly high, T4 and T3 slightly low. Testosterone high and SHBG slightly high. Thank you!
