New Test Results- Need Opinions & Understanding

December 21, 2007

Val,

Last message told you the endo gave me HC 10mg. She said, 5mg 2x day.

I did not start it because of wanting to do a saliva test.

I received these results from the alternative doctor, Diagnos-

Techs.With Cortisol levels this high, why would my endo prescribe HC

and order an AM Cortisol after the fact? What do the other results

indicate?

Free Cortisol 7-8am 50 13-24

11-Noon 20 5-10

4-5pm 14 3-8

Midnight 3 1-4

DHEA 6 3-10

Note: Adapted with DHEA slump.

What does this mean?

Insulin Post-prandial 9 5-20 Optimal

I did not get instructions for

eating properly for this test

at noon.

Progesterone 25 22-100 Optimal

Total Salivary Slg-A Borderline 21 20-25

Gliadin Ab, SlgA Negative 11

Thank you,

Frannie

Adapted with DHEA slump = stage 3

It is in this phase that we frequently begin to see our patients. The

divergently high Cortisol levels may produce anxiety or even " panic "

attacks. The high Cortisol night levels and the low DHEA levels will often

create insomnia. Because of ever increasing divergence of the DHEA and

Cortisol levels, the patient may experience a strange feeling unique to this

state--anxiety and exhaustion simultaneously.

Actually, " adapted with DHEA slump " is Stage 2 according to diagnos tech

tests but could be either stage 2 headed toward stage 3 on the ASI index.

Here is the stage 2 info:

http://www.chronicfatigue.org/ASI%202.html

You test results should show you in a box that is either 2 or 3.

The Physiological Effects of Stress on the Body

(Stage 2)

In this phase, we find the cortisol levels are continuing to rise in an

effort by the body to compensate for the unending stress it is asked to

undergo. However, we also find that the DHEA levels are not now keeping pace

with the Cortisol levels indicating that the body is beginning to lose

ground in its efforts keep up with the stress placed upon it. ACTH is not

affecting the production of DHEA to the same degree that it is Cortisol. The

start of trouble.

Do I need to supplement a small amount of DHEA?

Possibly the supplement PS?

I have a terrible infection that is probably causing part of the high Cortisol,

no one has identified it

or found an antidote. It seem to escalate after an infected tooth was pulled?
