ACTH the test | Arthritis Information

Hi all, haven't been feeling so good lately, mentioned it to my RD and so began 'the tests'! The first was a cortosol test. Mine read low. So, he handed me a form 'go have a ACTH test. (I thought it was just a regular test at the draw place) No, you have to go into the hospital to the 'Day stay', have the blood drawn, have meds injected and then more blood drawn to compare? What do I know? . It was a 3hour test! (the same hospital I had the awful heart operation tests! I was very freaked out by being there) Never again will I 'go in for tests' without knowing more about what is happening!

I do hope it was worth all of this. I hope they don't find anything 'wrong' or they find out what to do. Until the results are in I won't know.

Thanks everyone for your concern. Let you know later, Lynda

 

Yeah, I hate that, Lynda... going in for a test and not what exactly what the process is.

Hope everything comes back ok and they figure out what is wrong with ya.
