Avatar n tn Hello, does anyone know a website or where I can purchase a saliva test kit? A reliable one? I'm not getting much help from google search. :/ Thank You.
Avatar n tn ve started to see a hypnotherapist who has just given us an adrenal stress test kit which we will be sending today for testing. He THINKS it could be a thyroid problem, hence why I've posted on this site. Can anyone tell me if you get the weeks of ups and downs like I've mentioned when you have a Thyroid problem?
Avatar n tn because his TSH was extremely low. I guess they interpreted the adrenal stress test as a good adrenal response, but after one week on thyroxine, my son suddenly fainted (he hit his head on the kitchen counter on his way to the floor), then began shaking and vomiting. He was immediately put on hydrocortisone, for adrenal insufficiency. If they read his cortisol stress test correctly, I don't know how they could make the mistake of not getting him on adrenal support med.

Avatar f tn Maybe a women doctor would be more open to hormone testing. I also noticed on this board some people had done the test on their own through a mail order kit. I am from Mississauga, Ontario and bought the kit through my doctor and then had to send my completed test to Rocky Mountain Analytical lab in Calgary Alberta, who specialized in saliva hormone testing. It was very expensive, and not covered by insurance.
1139187 tn?1355706647 Despite my ACTH and my 4 24 hour urine tests, I will purchase and try the adrenal fatigue test. Which test do I buy? I know my testosterone is low so I don't need that.... Also still confused on the process results.... What do I do if they are messed up?
Avatar n tn You had a company test you. You did not buy the test and test yourself.
Avatar m tn Hi from Atlanta GA. Just found the group in my search for information following the adrenalectomy my wife recently had - had her left adrenal gland and tumor removed. Had a 8.4 cm tumor removed with adrenal - pathology suggested Adrenal Cortical Carcinoma (ACC) - a so-called "ultra rare cancer". so rare that oncologist has sent pathology off the Nat'l Institutes of Health for analysis and recommendations. hoping this forum might weigh in with ideas and resources and guidance..
Avatar m tn So one is usually given a high salt diet and told to avoid too much potassium. Make sure you have an emergency kit and know how to stress dose and how to give an emergency injection. There are other medications you may need other than replacement cortisol - usually hydrocortisone as that best mimics what the body makes, there is florinef as that helps the body hold salt (depends on your blood pressure) and maybe dhea.
Avatar f tn Did you just start taking prednisone? Because too much can cause those symptoms.
Avatar f tn i did my cortisol blood test and its result is 23.5ug/dl at AM and at PM result is 4.
Avatar f tn This generally reflects the "pre-exhaustion or pre-adrenal fatigue" states. Usually DHEA levels fall before cortisol levels are reduced. This is often as a result of an inability to balance chronic stressors or poor adaptation to intensive acute stressors. This pattern would indicate a state of long-term stressors depleting adrenal reserves. Stress analysis and adrenal support and restorative measures are exceedingly important. A recheck in 1 month is also strongly recommended.
Avatar f tn but the problem is that at the end of the day i feel crashed tired and next day mood is the opposite (Low) cant even talk or concentrate , yesterday i have read an article related to Dr Wilson about something called adrenal fatigue and i found out that adrenal fatigue symptoms exactly apply with my condition :1- insomnia , 2- depression and 3- next day mood problem if the day beforee is stressed with caffiene or other stressoors plus 4 - morning low state and maximum concentration or energy
Avatar m tn I just went to a dr who said adrenal fatigue was a very rare disorder! I was like please test me I failed the eye test. He put a flashlight to my eye in a well lit room for 2 seconds and said, everything looks fine, you don't have adrenal fatigue. I managed to get my thyroid blood work tested but he wouldn't do the saliva test. All in all I feel your pain and yes finding a right doctor is a must.
1923882 tn?1352250106 OPKs work by detecting the LH surge that occurs before you ovulate. Usually you will ovulate 12-48 hours (rough estimates, I'm not 100% sure on them) after you have a positive test. On the flip side however, it's possible to have a surge detected and then you fail to ovulate for whatever reason.
Avatar f tn So I take Prednisone daily , tiny amounts as replacement therapy but any major illness or medical stress throws me into Adrenal Crisis needing stress dose of cortisone to get through it, then wean down to normal level...Now I have a have at home Solucotef and Syringe to do myself (or family member can do if I'm already out-of-it) and don't need to go to the hospital emergency room anymore...
Avatar m tn I just have the 24 hour saliva cortisol test. I am so so exhausted and dizzy, my body temp is 96.8, my heart rate is down to 50s. I also have hashimotos disease with low thyroid. I am having sever panic attacks and shakey all day. My saliva levels were: Morning: 1.4 ( range 3.7-9.5) Afternoon: .4 (range 1.2-3.0) Evening: .7 (range .6-1.9) Night: .4 (range .4-1.0) My DHEAS was 5 and noted low for my age. Are saliva tests as serious as blood tests?
541196 tn?1293552936 I recently took a cortisol test to check for pituitary and adrenal gland tumors (with a pill taken at 11 PM the night prior). I think the test would come back with a high level to indicate the precence of a tumor. What would a really low level indicate?
