The best test for cortisol levels is the saliva test not the blood test.
There is a test that you can do at home to check for adrenal fatigue. I have an excellent book on it too. This doc has a website full of great information, including information about the thyroid since they do often run hand in hand. it is like the chicken and the egg, which one causes which. The thyroid being out can cause adrenal fatigue and adrenal fatigue can cause the thyroid to go on the fritz. Now stress and bad diet can cause both to go bad. Along with bad infection like the flu, etc. The book is, " Adrenal Fatigue, The 21st Century Stress Syndrome" by Dr. James L Wilson. His website is www.adrenalfatigue.org
I think he even gives you links where you can do the saliva test on your on and send it to a lab for the results.take care phillipa.
