Actually you SHOULDN'T have an ACTH stim test!!! If it is your pituitary affecting your adrenals, then the ACTH stim test will be normal. You need the insulin...

I put comments next to your tests below. Do you have any symptoms that suggest PCOS? Ask about that. Thyroid looks pretty good to me. You look secondary...
Chris thanks for your help. I had an insulin tolerance test. I did not know that it had any relevance to adrenals. #1 4.7 0-17 #2 42 8-112 #3 20.4 5-55 ...
Insulin tolerance is good for testing the adrenals and GH for stress response. The insulin (given in a large dose) breaks down glucose to very low levels....

My lab test results are Anti-TPO 120 (0-20), and I have terrible hyper symptoms-racing body, diahrrea, headaches. Any suggestions? I am taking Atenolol, but...
I'm sorry of what you are having to go through. Anti-TPO can match with Hashi's or Graves (85% graves test positive for Anti-TPO). Hashi's you can have hyper...
I own this book (college med school text) and highly recommend it if you want to learn in general the whole of endocrinology. You won't find the info in this...
Here are my labs: Free t3 2.7 (2.3-4.2) Free t4 0.8 (0.8-2.3) TSH 2.0 (0.5-4.8) My free t3 & free t4 seem low. How do I fix that? My Anti-TPO was 120...
Your frees are both low. Are those tests recent? You need to find a doc to give you natural thyroid. Have you looked at the patient recommended docs yet? ...
Chris, Yes, the tests are about a month old. Do you think the Anti-TPO number, 120 (0-20) would come down with natural thyroid? I did try Armour about 6...
The antibodies can come down with thyroid hormone, but will always be elevated most likely. Some people say they have had success in lowering antibodies by...
I've had such dismal experiences with top docs. I just looked at your link. I went to one who is on the environmental doc list-not too good. He finally said...
That's amazing, the experiances you've had with docs. That is terrible that doc said "didn't want to mess" and how are the meds hard to get? That was his lame...

What is your thyroid diagnosis, why do they want to remove the gland? I'm curious why you stopped taking replacement hormone.... Topper (Linda) On Sun, 05 Jun...
I've really never been diagnosed with Hashi's--or anything. What is a stim test? I'll read about Isocort and order some to try. Thanks for your help....
Topper, I have nodules on my thyroid. Because the endo said they were growing, he suggested removing my thyroid. I said no. I stopped taking Armour after...
Nodules suggest Hashi's... You should be tested... if you do have Hashi's (Hashimoto's Thyroiditis) the activity of the antibodies will ebb and flow causing...
