Cortisol labs question

I seem to have all the symptoms of low cortisol, and I can't afford

saliva tests right now, so have to rely on blood tests from doc.

I just finally was able to have a morning blood draw on 2/25/08 at

9:19 a.m. Cortisol, Random result was 17 (Ref Range 2-25)

That seems pretty high in relation to how I feel every morning. That

morning, the blood was drawn after 9am (the earliest appt I could

get). I woke up at 7am, with only about 6 hours sleep, and had to

drive in rush hour traffic (which I'm not used to). Do things like

that immediately affect the cortisol so that it would raise it or does

the test measure a period of time?

My afternoon is consistently low, but the doc won't treat it because

it is in range and my DHEA-S is in range and up from 55 in May 2007 -

does that make sense? Here are my most recent thyroid/pm cortisol

results:

These are all blood draw at 2:24 PM on 12/7/07

Free T3 = 3.9 (Ref Range 2.3-4.2)

Free T4 = 1.32 (Ref Range 0.73-1.95)

TSH = <0.1 (Ref Range 0.3-5.1)

DHEA Sulfate = 131 (Ref Range 35-430)

Cortisol, Random = 4 (Ref Range 2-25)

My current dose of Armour is 240mg split in 3 doses (60/90/90).

Thanks so much for any help!
