Question to Patty about blood cortisol level

[Guest guest]

Hi Patty,

I did my cortisol saliva test. But also about a week ago while at the

doctor's office he did a one-time blood cortisol level. I just got the

result (on a voicemail) and was told it was normal, though as usual

they didn't leave any info on the exact number or range of what is

normal. Anyway, do you know if this one-time blood cortisol level is a

worthwhile indicator of adrenal functioning. I battle so much fatigue

(and I was very fatigued that day the the blood was drawn) that I

thought the result would have come back saying my adrenals were hardly

functioning or something. I suppose I will learn more with the saliva

results, but was just wondering how much weight to put on the blood

result as a valid indicator?

Thanks,
