Adrenal Saliva Tests back.

Hi, I have the test results back. I don't know if being on Hydrocortisone or Valium has effected them. (I have only been on 20mgs of HC a day until then.) I also did not take anything at all that day. I have been having these adrenaline rushes since crashing on the T3 only 3 weeks ago. I can see that this is reflected in the results. I guess they don't mean anything much really other than to validate how I have been feeling. After 3 days of no adrenaline rushes, I think the tests would look different, what do you think?

Wow, I know how hard it is to describe. I get roaring tinnitus on top of 2 other types of whistling. I feel weak (muscles) and I feel like I can't stop or rest. My body is like a stuck accelerator. I feel stressed and yes its a strong feeling inside. It's not anxiety but it's a more physiological response. My throat closes up and I get puffed out. My vision gets blurry and it sometimes looks like I'm underwater? It's awful. I don't think those tests are an accurate portrayal of where I am because I am on Hydrocortisone, which makes for more cortisone than normal. (only been on it 3 weeks or so.) It's difficult because I have co morbidities with an adrenal disorder, so I am pumping out aldosterone (medicated for that for past 5 years) and now cortisol and adrenaline. It's the adrenaline that I can feel, not the cortisol. Hope it helps. Poor thing.

Sounds adrenal, but I honestly couldn't say. Let me know when you get the results back.
