Hi, Addy -

This is all new to me so I am not quite up to speed on all the lingo. No idea what a "UTK panel" is! The invoice lists: "Adrenal Function Testing - Tennessee $322" and "Cortrosyn Inj per .2 ml. $88" for a grand total of $410. Obviously this is the test that went to Dr. Oliver and included a check on Cortisol and 5 other hormones. Is there something less that can be done in between to check on whether treatments are working?

At the moment, I am still leaning towards watching and waiting a bit before beginning any treatments (other than the natural supplements), as Alivia's symptoms do not seem nearly as severe as many I've read here. In fact, they seem to be lessening. In the past she has been totally symptom free for long periods of time, so I am hoping that occurs again.

Thanks for your concern,

Mary Beth and Alivia
