If you are talking about blood tests, having a normal blood cortisol

doesn't mean anything about whether or not you are suffering from

adrenal fatigue.

I am on replacement cortisol. If I miss a dose, or get stressed, the

first symptom I get is nausea and taking cortisol always resolves it.

Something to consider. It would make sense that your cortisol levels

could be low on waking.

Hi

Now my cortisol and DHEA were saliva tests, but the volumes of saliva

i game to them were ion the low side, so i am getting them rececked to

be on the safe side.

However my cortisol levels were on the medium to high side, (my 4pm

sample was over the range) and all my DHEA were over the range.

My Free T4 was midrange, and my Free T3 was in the low range.

Any advice would be appreciated.

THYROID

free T3 4.0 (3-6.2 pmol/L)

free T4 16.9 (12.0 to 22.0 pmol/L)

TSH 1.5 (0.4 to 4.0 mIU/L)

TgAb <10 Less than 60 IU/ml

TPO <5 Less than 40 IU/ml

Salivary Testosterone

8am 1582 175-735 pmol/L

12pm 758 175-735 pmol/L

4pm 453 175-735 pmol/L

12am 134 175-735 pmol/L

Salivary Cortisol

8am 21.7 6.0 to 33 nmol/L

12pm 20.0 4.0 to 28 nmol/L

4pm 12.8 4.0 to 11.8 nmol/L

12am 3.0 1.0 to 5.0 nmol/L

Salivary DHEA

8am 32.2 4.0 to 29.0 nmol/L

12pm 27.0 2.5 to 13 nmol/L

4pm 22.2 2.0 to 6.0 nmol/L

12am 7.3 1.0 to 4.0 nmol/L

Your saliva tests have me stumped. I think rechecking them is a good

idea. If it is convenient, try to get the am sample on a morning when

you are having the nausea.

If you have hypothyroid symptoms and a low morning temperature (take

your temperature every am before rising for several days), consider

asking a doctor for thyroid hormone. There are some doctors who are

willing to treat the symptoms.

If I remember correctly depression was one of your symptoms? T3 has

been used to treat depression.

Thanks

It is my depression, anxiety and fatigue (foggy head etc) that are the

main symptoms.

I also have high Blood Pressure and Pulse rate.

Actually i was having nausea that morning i did the saliva tests. I

think an under active thyroid does give those symptoms to.

My body temp in the morning is always around 36C or 97F ish in the

mornings. It then goes to close to 98.6F in the afternoon, but drops

down back down to 97F when i go to bed.

If your temperatures are fairly constant at the same times each day, i

think adrenals are ok (which my temps are).

This is only a guess but as my cortisol levels are on the high side,

(and from my hair test my adrenal are in a alarmed state), i think my

adrenals are working flat out because of the thyroid problem, and will

eventually get exhausted if i dont do anything about it.

As my Free T3 is low, i would like to get this checked out

Thanks again
