Hello I'm a 26 year old male diagnosed with CFS by Dr Montoya for 10 years. I had an ACTH injection test, to test my adrenal glands, the results were within normal range. However the next day my CFS symptoms increased X10 and have stayed that way since 3 years ago.
My muscle fatigue/ pain is much worse, my sleep is way worse I can't fall asleep and wake up even more unrefreshed. The doctors say this test is just supposed to simulate a regular stress response, but this never happened to me since having CFS so I'm thinking my stress response is being blocked on purpose to prevent my disease from worsening. I've taken prednisone(cortisol) before and nothing happened at all, yet ACTH did this to me I'm so confused, how was that possible?
Has anyone had this test or this type of reaction before to ACTH test before?
