Val - Just wanted to make sure I understand this - Stopping the

Isocort the day of the blood cortisol test will drop the levels low

enough to be tested since the cells will immediately take up any

cortisol in the blood????? And my results should be low enough for

hydrocortisone treatment just after going off of Isocort that day or

shortly before?

If this test was for a saliva test - it would require going off of

the Isocort for 2 weeks since the saliva test reflects the

intracellular cortisol concentration? (not the extracellular?) Two

weeks without Isocort is required since that is the time for the

adrenals to return the cortisol output that they are capable of doing

on their own?

Just wanted to make sure I am understanding this whole concept??

Thanks, Janet

The thing is it will not be accurarte for showing what your adrneals

MIGHT be capable of, it is almost guaranteed to show LOW function a your

body will be waiting for the exogenous cortiosl you have been giving it.

Val -

That is what I wanted to hear. Like I said earlier, the doc knows I

have been taking the Isocort (showed him the bottle - and told him the

approximate hydrocortisone content was 2.5mg/tab). I just wanted to

make sure I tested low to support the use of hydrocortisone.

Thank you Val!!!
