re: re: very abnormal 17-ohp results. Please help!

Thank you, Megan!

I do live in the States. Forgot to mention that my progesterone went from 137 to 327, and the doc said it was normal. Does that support the educated guess of "ng/dl" units?

Also, since all who wrote back (thank you!) seem to think the numbers does not sound "very abnormal". They read the results to me over the phone, so I am beginning to think maybe I put down the wrong number for the baseline value. If it were 1390 and went to 1540 stimulated, how abnormal would that be? In general, what's the role of the baseline value? -- All I found about the test, is that in CAH blood samples, the stimulated value is very high.

As for other symptoms, a few things I am still confused about. For example, is increased sweating in adults attributed to CAH? -- I know it is in children. I have pretty bad muscle cramps, which are, supposedly, due to potassium deficiency, however, I do not appear to have the form of CAH with loss of minerals. Then, I was told long time ago that my body is wasting calcium, and that might be hormonal. Now, calcium isn't prominently (if at all) mentioned in connection with CAH, but still I wonder, could that be connected...

And I want to thank everybody again. This is not only very informative; the support you give is so invaluable!!!
