Hi all, just got my Genova Diagnostics Adrenal stress profile results back (saliva)
Cortisol results:
Sample 1 (post awakening, approx 7.50 am)
18.2 (12 -22) In range.
Sample 2 (+ 4-5 hours - approx 12.15pm)
1.5 (5.0 -9.0) Low.
Sample 3 (+ 4-5 hours -approx 5pm)
4.4 (3.0 -7.0) In range
Sample 4 (prior to sleep -approx 1145 pm)
0.5 (1.0 - 3.0) Low.
Total daily Cortisol: 24.6 (21 -41 nmol/L) In range.
DHEA Levels:
Sample 2 (AM) 0.07 Low
Sample 3 (PM) 0.41 Low No ranges given for DHEA results
DHEA : Cortisol ration - 0.41 (1.0 - 4.0) Low
DHEA Mean - 0.10 ( 0.30 - 1.00) Low
Notes: Resistance stage 3 - Maladaption: This generally reflects the 'pre exhaustion or pre adrenal fatigue states.
Stress ana;lysis and adrenal supprt and restorative measures are exceedingly important. A recheck in one month is strongly recommended.
I am sure this explains my problems with taking Armour thyroid (got much more ill after initially feeling much better)
Please also note i have been using an inhaled steroid long term, but dose low (in the past has been very high)
Any suggestions/expalanations gratefully received - is this why i feel so appaling? are these results terrible or not that bad? Interesting that they are normal on waking - and yet feel so crap when i wake up.
All the best Justy
