Well, we still didn't manage to be given the ACTH challenge or stim test. :o( But here are the tests we had that are pertinent to Addison's:
AM Cortisol (10:00 a.m., fasting) 12.6 uG/dL Range 2.5 - 22.9
ACTH, Plasma 21 pg/mL Range 6 - 48
PTH, Intact 20 pg/mL Range 12 -65
(don't know what this last one even IS!)
Potassium 4.7 mmo/L Range 3.5 - 5.5
Sodium, Serum 141 mmol/L Range 135 - 148
Everything looks very good to me, but I'm frustrated that we didn't get a test for aldosterone or an ACTH stim. Maybe we have proven nothing?
Thanks as always friends! ~ :wave: Tracy
