More Friggin' Bloodwork!

My 17-OH Progesterone test came back positive so now I get to have an ACTH test done next week. I feel like a damn pin cushion lately.
17-OH Progesterone test This test is used to identify persons with nonclassical adrenal hyperplasia. This condition occurs when the body does not product enough of a substance that helps the adrenal gland make cortisol.


ACTH test This test can help determine whether your adrenal and pituitary glands are normal. It is most often used when the health care provider suspects adrenal gland disorders, such as Addison's disease nonclassical adrenal hyperplasia or a pituitary insufficiency.

PA!

great to see you back! So sorry you are having to go through these trials and tribs. I do hope they get that adrenal gland issue figured out. I have had a tumor on my for a few years and i swear it is probably responsible for some of the other issues that have cropped up as well. Luv ya!
