A member asked:
What is the test range for a positive demexathsone suppression text and can u still have cushings if it doesn't show ?

Unlikely: It sounds like you are already involved in seeing a doctor about your symptoms, and this is very good. The normal range for any blood test is set by the lab, but generally a result under 1.8 is normal and this essentially rules out Cushing's Disease. Given the complexity of your case, I think the best thing to do would be to write down your questions so you remember to ask them at your appt.
