Re: I run the Hashi's board & now I need some help on saliva tests please!

, blood levels and saliva levels are looking at completely

different things. Your symptoms say these are correct. I think the high

cortisol is blocking conversion of T4 to T3 which it DOES, and that is

why your T3 is low. It means it is low in the tissues, but maybe not in

the blood. Antibody testing is said to be nto too accurate in the

saliva, it is not a hormone and the saliva testing seem smuch better for

hormones than anyhting. Do you have fluid retention? Highish BP?

Cheri - I wonder the accuracy now too. I have the kits here but if there are

serious flaws, then I will hold off. Boy oh boy, now what!

I can only comment on the progesterone one. I really am seriously

questioning the accuracy of Diagnos Tech in that regard if people have

adrenal fatigue. My Progest reading was over 1000, I was not on HRT nor had

been for several years AND I was suffering from low progesterone symptoms

and estrogen dominance symptoms. I actually decided to ignore the test and

start supplementing with progesterone cream...and I feel a thousand times

better.

I will see what my next test shows but there is something weird with these

super high progesterone readings that a lot of people using Diagnos tech are

getting when they have adrenal issues. Either it is not accurate, or it is

telling us something else about our bodies and adrenals that I cannot quite

figure out yet.

I also had very low DHEA ( " 1 " ) on my test.

I run the Hashi's board & now I need some help on

saliva tests please!

I am completely baffled with my saliva results.

DHEA 3 (borderline low) 3-10

NOW GET THIS ONE Progesterone 943 range luteal 65-500 (NO, I am not on

BHRT). Why is that so high?? Because my DHEA is low, this would

essentially rule out PCOS and I don't have any of those symptoms

anyway except mild acne.

TPO NEGATIVE (Okay folks, I have hashi's and that has been off the

charts every single time I have been tested. Are they telling me I no

longer have antibodies lol???

These labs were a total shock and I don't quite understand them. I am

trying to figure out if I messed them up a bit. I did drink ice tea

(forgot no caffeine). Don't know. I am stumped. Anybody shed some

light here? Could they have made such an error as to interpret the

wrong vials?? Thanks kindly!

Well I had a differnt experience. My first saliva labs with Diagnos

Techs showed Progesterone >3000 I was using P cream. The next year I had

stopped using it and my P was completely normal, which tells me they are

accurate. BUT whether tissue levels are more important than blood levels

I am not sure. Some hormones only do their work in the tissues others

work from the blood.
