Hi I just wanted to post my results as kind of a guide of anyone decides to get this test done through medichecks as I was previously told 2 of the results only came as a range rather than an actual resukt.
Although I’ve just realised my before bed test does actually say <1.5 so my bad. But if anyone wants to know what they look like.
Cade, I’m really sorry you’ve done the medichecks one, their saliva cortisol is not reliable ☹️
Why is it not reliable? 🫤
Others may say differently but I actually have primary adrenal insufficiency - so I actually have to be on steroids - and I did three separate medichecks cortisol saliva tests before my adrenal insufficiency test and they all came back quite similar to your results. Then I did a regenerus one and realized that my cortisol was on the floor, finally got the diagnosis and treatment I need, tolerating thyroid meds after 3.5 years of not being able to.
I just read your messages on regenerus etc. there’s so many things to test. I’m literally putting myself in hundreds of pounds of debt in the desperation to try and figure out what’s wrong with me. I saw my gp on Tuesday who said that my intermittent tingling/burning in pretty much most of my body but changes parts all the time and my fatigue is either functional whatever that means or hyperventilating and told me to try box breathing and mindfulness. I wanted to laugh in his face or punch it. Don’t get me wrong my mood and my anxiety over this is not making it better but fml.
Yeah. join the club. I hear you. FML INDEED! the cost emotionally and financially is heartbreaking. But you can make progress. Honestly, all you can do is get as much knowledge as you can. Use the forum well by asking questions, reading lots and learning how to interpret your own labs.
Books that I have found useful:

It gets better xx
We recommend using Regenerus as also includes DHEA and results are in a graph

Is this the one people do?
Yes
So this is suspect?
I would say so looking at it and the reference ranges. Too high a cortisol but have no idea what this means.
If you would like comments on your own results then please do start your own thread and post them there for comments.
