How to interpret Blood Cortisal results
Hi all, I understand the blood cortisal test is not the best test but I only found this out after my doctor had already done the test. My results were: D.H.E.A. Sulphate4.1umol/L0.26 - 11.0 CORTISOL220nmol/l Note method change to Roche Gen II assay 21/09/15 Results >200 nmol/L average 26% lower.

Cortisol test results
HI, going to quack on Monday so had a cortisol test done at genova results as follows: morning 45 (7-32) Lunch 9.4 (2.5-11), PM 6.07 (1.3-7.4), Night 1.3 (0.8-3.8), Cortisol Ratio 0.05 (0.015-0.150),
DHEA
Mean 1.83. Can anyone advise on why I might be out of range early in the day?

Adrenal crash after 18 months well. Why?!
I still take nutri adrenal, 7keto
dhea
, b vits, vitamin C, 5HTP and magnesium. Oh, and vitamin D. Although I've bad a busy period, I wouldn't say it's been super stressful but my body is completely failing to cope. The only difference this time is that I feel more wired than wired and tired.

Blood Results
I have recently done private tests for chronic fatigue screening and cortisol/
DHEA
and also genetic testing. Just awaiting results. I have Hashi's, coeliac, and positive gastric parietal cells. Chances are I'm not absorbing B12, although bloods are normal.

What DHEA to use
Hi All I have saliva results which show my
DHEA
is very low, under range. I would like to supplement and I think on here someone had experience of a type of
DHEA
which doesn't contain testosterone. I think it may have been 7 Keto
DHEA
- does anyone know please ? Andrea

DHEA - anyone told to try this?
Hi, I went for my pre-treatment scan today and was told that I have a low count of follicles (less than 10) and she suggested for me to go on
DHEA
as the consultant may tell me to go on this when we have our appointment in a few weeks and will need to be on it for 3 months before they will do anything
