Adrenal saliva test results

[Guest guest]

Hello all,

I've got my adrenal test results today, as follows:

Cortisol levels:

sample 1 4.3 nmol/l (range 12-22)

sample 2 2.7 nmol/l (range 5.0-9.0)

sample 3 0.1 nmol/l (range 3.0-7.0)

sample 4 0.1 nmol/l (range 1.0-3.0)

Total daily cortisol: 7.2 nmol/l (range 21-41)

DHEA levels:

sample 2 (am) 0.33 nmol/l (range 0.40-1.47)

sample 3 (pm) 0.16 nmol/l (range 0.40-1.47)

DHEA/Cortisol ratio:

3.40 nmol/l (range 2.0-6.0)

Genova lab's verdict: adrenal exhaustion.

I'm back on just 100mg NA a day as I find I really feel wired if I take more.

I'm also on 1 tablet Euthyral a day (100mcg T4+20mcg T3) and I'm taking a B

complex +C vitamin supplement, Selenium, Zinc, and vitamin D3.

The Euthyral is definitely helping (I've lost the fluid I was retaining and have

felt livelier than before) but I'm having coordination and concentration

problems. I feel brain-fried and tired all the time. I can't sleep for more than

7-8 hours a night no matter how tired I am. I also sweat profusely and easily. I

want to get better!

I'm going to communicate these results to my endocrinologist and see what he

says. I'm not terribly optimistic since he believes NAX is an old wives' remedy

and my Metopirone test came out normal, but still.

Best wishes,
