Thank you so much Chris! After reading it only shows 's, I

wanted to check here to see if it would even be worthwhile to do.

Is there anything else I should know before doing the stim? Not take

thyroid meds before? (and if so, how long to wait after last dose) Do

a certain time of day? (my sleep schedule has been waking around noon

and sleeping around 4am) Side effects? Etc?

Thank you,

Joy

does show many things (not just 's) if you know how to

Joy,

I can't remember if I posted this to you on the main board or somebody

else, but the stim test will get you amped up from all the extra

cortisol (unless you don't respond). At least it did me and I didn't

even respond that strongly. I would do it in the morning so you have

the day to unwind from it and take your thyroid meds as normal I would

think. Plan to have a nice, relaxing day afterwards. Take a bath,

drink some wine, smoke some whacky weed if you're so inclined ;) watch

your favorite girly movie, and chill out.

What's your surgery for btw?

Sounds almost exactly like what you told me.. and I can't thank you

enough...I showed up on the morning I was supposed to have the test

alone and was expecting to drive home.. Fortunately, the test had

to be cancelled... I won't be driving when it does take place,

that's for sure... BUT, you didn't mention the 'wacky weed' to

me....j =}~

definately wide awake. Just don't do wacky weed and drive!! LMAO
