Did I screw up my salivary test by napping?

Yes I think your test can change naping

How does this work Phil i.e. napping changing cortisol levels.

It is two years since I had my ASI and I am thinking I probably slept a few

hours of the afternoon that day as that was my daily experience for many years

until I started taking h.c and Armour.

thanks.

When we sleep are body startes to wind down your temps will go down and as

we get to rem sleep everything changes. Next time you take a nap take your

Temp when you wake you will see what I am taking about. I feel when you nap

your

Cortisol can go higher or lower when you wake

Well i have been napping these last few days Phil and my temps have been LOW

but I did not take notice of the temp. immediately after sleeping.

Interesting.

What is the reason for the cortisol either going up OR down after waking

Phil?

thanks.

I just realised that on the day I did the salivary test for my

cortisol, dhea-s, I took a nap around 3pm (exhausted, as always) then

got up at four and did the 4pm salivary sample (which ended up being

the highest reading on the curve).

Did napping in the middle of the day screw up my values?

I have been taking the adrenal concentrate the doc recommended, but

every time I get about a week or so into the once-a-day dose (he wants

me to ramp up to three a day), I get sick. A cold, bronchitis, or

something like that. And I almost never get sick. Could the adrenal

concentrate be the problem?

Ok I just had to say this because a lot of people don't know this still I feel

you would do better on Isocort.
