Lisa,

You are probably right about cortef, I am still new to all the meds & such.  Our Endo is at a conference in San Fransico until wed. but I will ask him.  I talked to his nurse & she gave me the results her Renin is 278, 17HOP is 615, & her androstendione is 34.

We were having a Heck of a time with the lab at our Kaiser clinic screwing up her labs, but now we switched to another clinic that is actually closer & they have a lot of adult endo. patients there so they are familiar with the labs & how to handle them.  We were using Quest labs for a while b/c the Kaiser lab were his office is located was screwing up so bad, but then they were screwing up the transportation of her labs & we just found that going to this other clinic had a better team in the lab & also had a tech who was good at drawing from babies.

Well, I talked with his nurse for about 30min. and feel better.  Thank the Lord for the great support!
