Saliva Results
General opinion of how to proceed, given these results:
AM - 8 depressed 13-24nm
Noon - 4 depressed 5-10nm
Afternoon - 1 depressed 3-8nm
Night - <1 depressed 1-4nm
Cortisol load 14 23-42nm
DHEA 5 normal adults 3-10 ng/ml
Blood work
TSH, 3rd Generation 1.12 mII/L .40 - 4.50
T4, Free 1.2 ng/dl .8 - 1.8
T3, Free 273 pg/dl 230 - 420
Testosterone, free and total, LC/MS/MS 603 250-1100
Progesterone 38 normal optimal 22-100 pg/ml
My question:
Can a low dose 5mg bio-identical Cortisol taken AM / Noon or other method, for an appropriate period of time (so as to keep the Adrenals engaged but with less stress) in addition to your supplement program, be more affective and than just using supplements alone? I understand the key word is APPROPRIATE.
Thank you!
