Guest guest Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 Ok thank you. Maybe I shouldn't be so worried about it.

I thought there was a file on proper AVS testing but I can't find it? Since I have been off the spiro about 4 weeks I have tried to keep my Na under 1,000 mg/day because even at 1,500 I wasn't feeling much better. Will being that low in Na alter the AVS results? Should I increase my Na shortly before the test?

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 Remind them I trained with Dr. Conn and have published over 200 papers. You will need to sign a form to give them permission to talk to me and me to talk with them. But they may know everything if they have been doing this for 45 years like I have. Wash U is one of the best so I would do what they recommend. If they use ACTH then the diet may not make much of a difference and the effect of increasing aldo will be the same in both adrenals (maybe). Most Endos have never seen anyone on a 1,000 mg Na or lower a day diet. Including the Mayo. Keep us up to date.CE Grim MDOn Jun 15, 2012, at 8:46 PM, Virginia Wall wrote: Ok thank you.
