24 hour salivary cortisol test

[Guest guest]

Has anyone here had a 24 hour salivary cortisol test done? From Pubmed

studies I have been reading, I think there is a definite connection

between adrenal insufficiency and cardiomyopathy and I would like to

hear about any personal feedback from those who have looked into this.

Reason for asking is that my father has just failed his driving test. He

has cardiomyopthy and is on every NHS drug (beta-blockers, statins, ACe

inhibitors, thyroid and gout mediactions as well as permanent

antibiotics due to splenectomy) in the palette of the doctors. My mother

is now convinced my father has Alzheimers and will probably try for

drugs from the NHS. I have done 8 years of research and currently

finishing up a masters thesis on the relationship between food and

behaviour. I know exactly HOW to bring my father back from the brink but

I need to get some tests done to prove to my sister and mother who the

absolutely most bloodyminded and stubborn people in the world that

something can be done.

I am so angry I cannot see straight at the moment.
