[QUOTE="Vettester Chris, post: 16011, member: 696"] Mat, the ACTH & ACTH-Stim with or without CRH-Stim can help the physician determine if the pituitary is secreting properly. Personally, I don't think it's a secondary or sub clinical issue, I imagine other factors involving stress, environment, illness/infection(?), ...etc., a variety of factors probably played into the adrenals working overtime to keep up, and at some point the pregnenolone steal factor kicked in and contributed to other hormonal pathways being effected, e.g., DHEA, Thyroid, ... Note, this is just a speculation, but it's a pretty common course when this stuff plays out. I would hope that most of the imaging exams (if warranted) would focus in the adrenal cortex region. That's just my .02 On your last question, YES, YES, YES ... There's a variety of variables related with this, but the one I'll emphasize the most is your thyroid. If you don't have adequate cortisol production, then it's pretty much a given that your thyroid productivity is suboptimal!! This isn't about a "normal" TSH level, or that T4 & T3 levels are in the reference range .. It's about your Free T3 level and its ability to get into the cells of the body, promotion of ATP, which is codependent on factors like cortisol, iron, D3 and few others. Free T3 needs to be factored against Reverse T3 to see the true picture. A full thyroid panel is needed to review this, but that my friend is no doubt one of the key issues you are facing with the fat/muscle scenario. [/QUOTE]
