Hiddy Ho Anyone,
Just got results from my ACTH STIM PANEL - as follows:
Baseline: 8.33
30 min 22.8
60 min 26.7
Does this appear to be Addison's?
Thank you for any insight you can shed on these numbers.

Sorry I missed this. Since you more than doubled, your stim suggests you have secondary AI and not primary AI or Addison's which is the worst that primary AI can be. Ask for serum acth.

Read this if you haven't already.

Thanks HarmoneMan! :>) In my search to regain my health, I have come to realize that I more than likely have multiple endocrine failure. I live in a rural area and finding any doc worth anything is beyond difficult. At least I found one locally who ordered a smorgosboard of tests. Don't know how to intrepret the info; doubt that the primary I am presently seeing can piece it all together, but the internet is a wonderful tool.
Again, many thanks for you knowledge and insight.
Sharon
