[QUOTE="Vettester Chris, post: 12736, member: 696"] Mike, your adrenals look like they're pretty exhausted. If possible, I'd rather really see a full circadian profile on the cortisol with a 24 hour saliva test, which will also include a DHEA saliva test. Morning cortisol should be right at the top end of the range, then it should slowly progress to the lower end of the reference range(s) by the end of the day. Talk with your physician about those labs, plus look at the different treatment options with DHEA, pregnenolone, and "if" needed some form of HC therapy or adrenal cortex supplement. If your morning cortisol is in the lower quartile with the 24 hour saliva test, I can almost assure you that your thyroid will also be facing some challenges, specifically with the distribution of T3 into the body and promotion of ATP. A full thyroid panel that includes Reverse T3 will tell you how that side looks. The biggest obstacle you might have is making sure you have a physician in your camp that knows what to look for with this, or that will even acknowledge this. If your doctor simply dismisses your cortisol because "it's within range", you need to reach out another direction. [/QUOTE]
