[QUOTE="Vettester Chris, post: 14729, member: 696"] Okian, I don't mean to be the spoiler here, but we need an actual 24 hour [U]saliva[/U] test, taken 4x (some are even 6x) over the 24 hour period. I want to see the circadian profile of how your adrenals look upon waking, Noon, 6:00 PM and late PM. I'm looking at the accumulation (total burden), and saliva DHEA included in the Lab Kit to get a DHEA/Cortisol Correlation profile. This will provide a much more comprehensive picture of how your adrenals are function, if DHEA is keeping pace (stress adapted), or if DHEA is slumping and pushing into a maladaptation phase. The lab you provided is kind of like a TSH only lab, where there's more needed to see the whole picture. Depending on the situation, sometimes pregnenolone steal will be a factor when stress is evident, the adrenals utilize the bulk of pregnenolone for cortisol production, which causes a deficiency in DHEA (and other hormones). I'm just throwing some thoughts at the wall ... If you get the correct labs it will remove the speculation. Thanks!! :) [/QUOTE]
