24 hour saliva test is said to be better. But do one that tests cortisol plus DHEA as both are needed, avoid tests that just do cortisol.
Regenerus and Genova Diagnostics both do this test. You use ThyroidUK as your "practioner". I use Regenerus as they contact you direct when the result is available, Genova send them to ThyroidUK who then send them to you when you have given your consent via a form on TUK's website.

Susie I went onto Regenerus and they are saying sold out. Do you think I should wait for them to restock or try Genova?
I have replied to your PM.
Thank-you Susie x
