Yes, and I forgot the thyroid antibody test too. She is getting salivas

though. I don't think they do a ferritin saliva test, or do they?

I'm not sure. I missed the part about the salvia test. I guess I'm used to

most people's thyroid tests being bloodwork and cortisol being done by

salvia. Plus I'm really tired and fuzzy today. :-) Will the antibodies test

in the salvia? I'm wondering for future reference.

Yes, the Diagnos Tech one for $141 includes the thyroid antibodies. However,

saliva antibodies are supposed to be less accurate than blood ones.
