Hi The only test my endo uses, NHS or privately , certainly is good as I have had it done several times.It is widely available but as slightly dearer than the useless blood test, you may need to pay for it. GP can arrange it with the Lab at eg Spire, but you will need to ask them to fill in the form for GP to sign, simpler that way. It means a 24 hour urine collection with at low cortisone tablet, docs script, at midnight, then a blood test at 9am the next morning. The urine collection is £50 not sure if you can have the blood at the GP`s or otherwise you would also need to pay for that. at the Spire.

I did the Genova Diagnostics test (contact details available on the TUK site), and it showed adrenals almost exhausted, but like Blue Daffodil I couldn't get any mainstream medic to take it seriously. I'm afraid this is a very common experience.
