Guest guest Posted November 29, 2006 Report Posted November 29, 2006 Hi-- I just got my cortisol numbers back. They are blood, not saliva, because my doctor didn't want to take me off the licorice, etc. for two weeks, because my body just can't take it. Here are the numbers: AM 11.6 (7.0-28.0) PM 8.7 (2.0-13.0) Do these warrant HC? I have lingering symptoms despite a very high T3 (5.6, top of range is 4.6). FT4 is exactly mid-range. Also, any ideas of how a long-term bacterial infection would affect adrenals/thyroid issues? It is possible that I have had a gram negative bacteria since 7/05 (after surgery). I started on antiobiotics and have seen significant swelling go down in my belly. Thank you very much! Sara in MI Quote
