You did not "stimulate" in other words, your adrenals did not step up and start working when they blasted them and tried to get them to work. By failing to stimulate, you passed the test for lousy adrenals.

Now you need to learn how to take steroids.  Are they putting you on hydrocortisone - twice daily, divided doses? Florinef? Talk about salt (you may need more)?
