AI is a salt wasting disease - so if your BP is largely normal and you don't crave salt, it may be that something else is the culprit.

Rumpled, thank very much for your reply, I have a private dr appt booked for next month, am I right in thinking I should ask for the long test and not the short one? I thought I read that the short test is only good to Diiagnose addisons??  Haven't been tested yet for sodium or pottasuim, I will ask dr about those, I have been tested for:
Vit D - 44 (75 - 200)
Ft4 - 12.7 (9.0 - 22.0)
Ft3 -  4.59 (2.63 - 5.70)
Tsh - 0.54 (0.35 - 4.94)
Ago - <40 (0 - 40)
App - <35 (0 - 35)
Hot - 0.389 ( 0.33 - 0.45)
Folate - 545 ( 158 - 1099)

I have done the above tests privately in  de

Hi, I'm not a doc and I am new to all this too.......but your results look good. The normal rhythm is higher cortisol in early morning and then a taper as day goes on--- you seemed to follow the normal rhythm.

I do recommend a STIM test. Most of us diagnosed with AI were diagnosed after our STIM test results were not up to par. I also recommend blood tests for vitamin deficiency. I am deficient in both B12 and D--- can make you feel horrible as well.

You would need a stimulation test as well as other tests to really confirm it but to me you had a pretty normal rhythm just a tad low on sample 2. The rest were following normal nicely.

There is no ACTH, no sodium, no potassium (do you crave salt?) no antibodies - no other hormones...

Cortisol can vary anyway with illness and all. And you need more than one day of testing - you need several sets IMHO.  you need more testing of different types too and make sure you rule it in and rule other things out.
