Help with Cortisol test

[Dahliasanddaisies]

Hello all,

I had a saliva cortisol test done last week. Ive got the results back but with no comments from the clinic. They look okay/normal to me? Apart from the 3rd one?

I was expecting them to be low as I thought I was suffering from adrenal fatigue.

Could anyone advise me on these levels?

Hi, these are unusual looking results, can I ask who you did them with? The ranges are unusual too, normally you’d expect to see a reference range (with 2 numbers), rather than ‘less than’ signs.

Yes I thought they looked weird, I'm not sure on the lab as the Thyroid Clinic ordered the test

Can they not interpret the results for you?

Thank you for looking. I can't remember the specific times but they weren't the exact times they have on the ranges. Ie I'm sure the morning one I did at 6am (on waking)

I've asked the clinic for an explanation but not got one yet! Quite annoying as it's a £90 test and shows not very much..

This is another view of the results but doesn't give time or anything.

I think it was 11.30am, 3.30pm and 8.30pm (I go to bed very early)

May want to research "hypoadrenia" and just see if some of the symptoms fit.

You're too kind, thank you! I struggle with energy all day, I have none. I have to lie down after a shower. I usually get to sleep okay but yes I wake at least once in the night x
