Guest guest Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Tests were all in and final and his determination is that I have partial adrenal insufficiency but he cannot find out the cause because all pituitary stuff is normal and so are adrenal antibodies and my CT scan of adrenals showed them to be " normal " . He says that based on my ACTH stim test proving insufficiency and based on what happened when I weaned down to 7.5 that he suggests I stay on a replacement dose at least for six months and that if I ever were going to try to wean off in the future, I'd have to be really prepared and might have to live with adrenal insufficiency symptoms for awhile (although not pleasant) OR he could just keep me on it so I don't have to go through that. All in all I've been quite happy with him. He did say that he wished he could have done an ACTH stim test BEFORE I went on HC. So now I have a question because I'm kinda doubting one thing he suggested. He told me my current dosing isn't right and that I should instead take 12.5 in the morning and then 7.5 around 2 p.m. I'm not so sure about this. What say you all?
