I'm worried about my low ATCH level as it sounds like I could have secondary AI which means I should be on steroids. They said if all was fine theyd just send a letter and I'd be discharged. The hospital ward where I had the Synacthen test done rang me on the day to say adrenals were fine but were waiting for the ATCH blood test. I have not yet heard back from the consultant who ordered these tests. GP put me on HC and I felt better (ish) but told me to come off for Synacthen test.

I have terrible fatigue and muscles in my thighs feel so weak, climbing stairs is like doing a session at the gym! I have been on sick leave since November as I was so bad, including awful hypoglycemia and exhaustion. My adrenals can respond to ATCH, great! However the reason my cortisol level was 370 is due to the fact my ATCH is so low. The Synacthen test done at the same time was ok. A Synacthen test on day 10 confirmed a diagnosis of Addisons disease and he was. Level was 6 (range 0-45) lab report it's low. kyphosis and the correction angles at C4-5 between the two groups.

I have just found out my serum ATCH is low.
