Thanks Chris. Yeah it definitely felt like the beggning of a crisis, hence the need for nearly 20mg in one hour. I hate feeling that scared, and even when the...

Hi Lynn, If your friend is Hypopit what Pituitary Hormones was she low in? If her TSH was high obviously she wasnt Hypoipt for Thyroid at least. Therefore she...
Hi There, Do any of these look like I may have a hypoP problem? I am trying to figure out why my TSH is always so low and my TH levels arent even at mid...

Your stim result indicates secondary AI. You started low and doubled, that is what secondaries do. To bad you had to deal with screaming toddlers that likely...
