You can ask me what my symtomps are and I can tell you but at the end of the day its not gonna prove anything.After the MRI scan I can come back and tell you guys if I have a tumor or not if anyone cares, Just reply to this topic and I wil get a email notification> > Have you tested positive for the dexamethasone suppression test (DST)?

Dexamethasone is a synthetic corticosteroid that normally shuts off cortisol production via negative-feedback loops involving ACTH and CRH. Adiministering dexamethasone is a way to determine if your cortisol negative feedback loops are operating properly.
I was just curious. I don't know how the results of such a test would assess CRH secreting tumors.
