Here are my results.
Baseline cortisol, 8.6
Baseline ACTH 12
60 minutes after cortrysyn(?) 30

The Doctor said I passed which would mean I am not Primary but he never even tried the low dose or anything to rule out secondary. Can u still be secondary even if u pass the high dose?

Also he told me my cortisol needed to be over 10 which its not.
