Hypopituitary, newly diagnosed, how long does it take to feel better?
Mar. 6th, 2008   10:32pm

I have a son with Salt wasting CAH.  For years (about 15) I have been telling doctors that I don't feel well at all.  Stress puts me in bed for days.  My cortisol levels always came back normal.

I finally convinced a doc to do the ACTH challenge test on me and I am not producing adequate cortisol.  I have been on 20mg cortef a day for a week.  How long does it take to start feeling better?

I am also Hypothyroid and have been on thyroid for over a month now.

 

Still not feeling well.....

Heather
