If he needs help interpreting the test results have him contact Diagnos

Tech which is where the saliva is tested.

Most docs, especially endos only use the stim to look for complete

adrenal failure ('s), in other words, are the adrenals working

or not. They don't look for anything inbetween. The stim does show

many things (not just 's) if you know how to interpret.

No matter what the docs interpretation of the stim is, post it here.
