Help with saliva test results!

[Guest guest]

Hi everybody! I'm in OKC and have been without electricity and water

since Monday morning. It is amazing how we take things like the

microwave, coffee pot, tv, computer & bathing for granted! I received

my saliva test results from Diagnos-Techs yesterday. They are:

Free Cortisol Rhythm

Result Ref Values

7-8 am 16 Normal 13-24

11-noon 35 Elevated 5-10

4-5 pm 15 Elevated 3-8

11-midnight 2 Normal 1-4

Cortisol Burden: 68 23-42

DHEA 2 Depressed Adults(M/F): 3-10

Estrone 61

Estradiol 6

Progesterone 264

Free Testosterone 11

My last TSH .42 Low .47-5.01

T-4 .68 .61-1.12

Free T-4 1.17 .73-1.95

Free T-3 3.7 2.3-4.2

Cholesterol 146 120-200

Triglyceride 47 40-160

HDL 82.8 (H) 40-60

LDL 53.8 0.0-99

Doctor has me on 1 grain Armour a.m. & 1 grain Armour at noon.

Also 10mg HC a.m. & 10mg 2p.m. (I started that the day after saliva

test).

I had changed my HC dose to 7.5mg 1m, 7.5mg 2pm, 5mg 7pm.

This has been a really hard week, little sleep, a lot of work being

without electricity & water. I am feeling very shakey & exhausted.

I have been waking up between 3 and 5 am for at least the last 8-10

months & have to eat before I can go back to sleep. Also I can't

sleep w/o taking ambien cr at night.

I don't know exactly what these test results mean. Do I have too

much cortisol & shouldn't take HC or what? Any help would be

appreciated. Thanks in advance!
