The results are back from Angel's ACTH stimulation test, and the dermatologist says they are negative for Cushings. Here are the results:

* CORTISOL SAMPLE 1 - 1.6 (Range 1.0 - 5.0 ug/dL)
* CORTISOL SAMPLE 2 - 11.6 (Range 8.0 - 17.0 ug/dL)

The samples were taken one hour apart.

So it looks like she really is still just dealing with fallout from the Prednisone use. I'm so relieved to hear that she doesn't have Cushings, but I'm wondering how much longer it will be before we will stop seeing new calcinosis lesions, and see a lessening in her extreme drinking and peeing. If anyone has any experience with this and can chime in with how long it took for new lesions to stop forming after you stopped steroid/Prednisone use, I'd really appreciate it. Angel has now been off of Prednisone for just over 4 weeks.
