Thank you for posting this cc120. It is something I am pursuing at the moment. Awaiting results of Saliva Cortisol Test.

thanks also for posting this. I keep putting off having the test because of the cost, but having read this post I think Its a must! Thanks.

Thanks cc120, having re read this post, I think I have had adrenal problems all my life, do you know if GPs recognise and help with this problem? I have probably read lots of posts on here regarding adrenals but cant remember, my memory is terrible at the moment. Thank you again!

I think it would be worth you posting a question on whether GP's recognise adrenal problems. Endos might, but in my case the endo who sent a private patient for dextrose and 24 hour urine cortisol test when her cortisol was 400, didn't send me for the same tests when my cortisol was 900. Now waiting till August to see another endo, to see if he will investigate further.

Thank you, I think I will just go for the test. In your case that is so typical and frustrating for you, and the time you have to wait to see another endo. I will post on here when ive had the test. Good luck with your endo app, and thanks again for your help!x
