Re: Newly diagnosed, questions

Hi Bonnie, Given those symptoms I would test for both Lyme and Ehrlichia, even if you do start her on pergolide. It may just be a coincidence but again, based on my experience, I'd want to rule it

Re: Newly diagnosed, questions

Hi Bonnie, 45 is outside of the reference range for Cornell so she appears PPID at baseline regardless of the post TRH test results. However, in my experience the elevated ACTH could be from a

Newly diagnosed, questions

Allie has just been diagnosed with PPID. I would like my labs looked at, as I have several questions. The stem test showed just 45 on the pre, but 84 on the post draw, which is within normal range.
