RE: I need some advice please about the Canary Tests.

a,

First, take a deep breath. You will be okay.

I would not worry about the progesterone. Just mark on the test you are on

progesterone. That reading won't tell you much on the results but all the

rest will still be valid. I stopped my progesterone only a week before so

mine will likely be off too, but then the last one seemed off so I am not

worrying about it. This is the least of your worries right now, imho.

I am mostly looking to see what my thyroid ones show on this next one since

I know my cortisol will also be off since I am on Isocort for two months.

By the time February rolls around I bet you will feel better. Because after

the tests you do on Dec. 28th (or 31st), you will have your results in

January and can start a good treatment. You can Fed Ex the test, BTW. Might

be worth the extra cost. I did that.

Take it one day at a time and try not to stress about future stuff.

I need some advice please about the Canary Tests.

Dearest a,

I really feel for you and I seem to be in the same boat! Been in

hospital for 3 seperate weeks since beginning of October and got

nowhere...the anxiety has been unreal..I'm pretty much housebound too

but am on 5mg prednisolone so you're ahead of me in that you can get

the Adrenals sliave tested..I am not ready to give it up to test..I

just want to say 'maca' its a food supplement from Peru. Great for

energy and I doubt its effects stay long in your system..maybe Val

knows about that?

All the best, take it an hour at a time that's what I'm doing and

we'll get there..

Cheri,

Thanks a million! I am concerned about the aderall I take for add because it

is a like steroid in the fact it is gives one false energy and I called the

Canary Labs, they lady was super nice and told me she thinks it can throw it off

a tad the cortisol test , but she can not be sure. I took it the aderall

yesterday I forgot to mention so and around tomm or the next I should get my

period,but it was early last month maybe the progestorne is causing it to come

early and then late. So I am not sure if I should postpone the test for next

month. You said you are on Isocort, so by taking that of the test read a tad off

you can still tell if you are low right?

I am trying to just breath, not be able to sleep is just adding to me being

upset,but I will tonight. I just feel the sooner I can get on the HC or whatever

is seems I need, maybe Isocort the sooner I can do take care of some pressing

things.

Thanks,

a

Adderall is not a steroid, but an amphetamine. It will nto interfere with the

testing but it WILL cause more adrenal exhaustion though it is covering up the

TIRED you are supposed to be feelign from low cortisol.

a,

I would not postpone it. Do the best you can on the test with what you are

taking and I think you will know when you post your results here if it got

thrown off or not. If you postpone it, you are postponing your treatment and

wellness so I would do it. If it does throw it off, it might not be by much.

You might just have to say the heck with it and start a treatment like many

of us are doing and just assume what stage you might be at based on symptoms

if worse comes to worst and the tests do appear messed up. I am thinking you

are probably at least a stage 4 or 5 based on what you have said, but I

don't think you want to delay anymore. I think you should do the test

regardless of when you get your period...just like you planned...and then

plan on starting Isocort or HC treatment in January. That will also give you

a goal and something to look forward to. Just put notes on the sheet about

what you are taking, what day of the cycle, etc. I did that on mine.

In my case, though I would prefer to take them again with no Isocort,

however, it is not possible for me. I am at stage 7 and cannot go off of it

for 2 weeks just to test. So, I already expect my tests will be off and am

mainly trying to see about thyroid. However, I was on HC cream when my last

one was done and it still showed me at stage 7 (just goes to show how bad I

am) so I still got very valuable info from my tests even though I was on

that and glandulars.

Nothing is perfect, you do the best you can with what you can control and

don't worry about what you cannot.
