Wacky ATCH Stimulation Results - has any one had this?
Jan. 7th, 2005   3:39pm

My daughter is 6 and was just diagnosed with locah.  The genetic test still has a week to go before we get it.  After posting some on this sight, I learned I need the results of ATCH stimulation to plot on the graph to see where she falls. 

I called the Office and they said the baseline was 617 and the end result was 350.  It went down!  The doc said it was because she was so scared that she came in alreadly high... Her prolactin was really high ( indicater for  her that she is way stressed).   At the end of the test her Prolactin draw was normal.... ane 17-OHP went to 350. 

The doctor said she has seen this before and she is still ready to start drug therapy.  We meet in two weeks about it.  Is this a good diagnosis? Has any one else had results like these?  Doctor said she doesn’t need to retest....  She would pobably have same result.

Her regular blood draws were:             8/26/04                    9/20/04   

                                             17OH                 176                               187

                                              17OHP              ----                              432

Help???????????
