Since you're treating w/ the Lignans and Melatonin right now, it *could* be having some effect on the cortisol levels -- but yes, the only way to confirm that is to run another ACTH.
On the upside, this could be a VERY positive sign that the regimen could be working for her  !!! | I’m just such a worrier.
