Hi
Earlier I had written about the
ACTH stim test and how
I refused to do it
But now that the doctor again is recommending it
I might as well.

not sure why you refused it initially but it's good you've changed your mind.
if you are feeling unwell then the results of these tests can assist the doctor to diagnose and treat.

Why did you refuse to have it done before? I would trust your doctor, they would only suggest a test if they felt it was going to help you and was safe to do so.
Hope it all goes well

Dynamic testing maybe associated with pituitary tumors and had read that they were a bit risky
but then I realized or read Acth stim test
Is a bit different and plus my doctor
Still doesnt believe I have a pituitary problem
I think , he might think it is Addisons
