Guest guest Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 My daughter had the cortisol saliva test done and I'm not quite sure I'm interpreting the results correctly. Cortisol levels: 6-8 am 17 range 13-24 11-noon 6 5-10 4-5 pm 8 3-8 10-midnite 7 1-4 DHEA high at 13 range 3-10 Is this a sign of adrenal fatigue? I thought adrenal fatigue created low cortisol levels. But after reading the Stop the Thyroid Madness site, it looks like high cortisol in the afternoon and night is a sign of fatigue. Am I interpreting this correctly? I have been supplementing with adrenal cortex (just recently started), and our doctor suggested we stop it. But I would think we need it. He recommended using phosphatidyl serine. Also, her free T3 was high at 5.38 (range 2.05 - 4.5). I was expecting it to be low. What do I do with this result? Any takers? Thanks in advance.
