I'll try to post mine here so everyone can see. I have to see if I can get my scanner to work....

Default My Results

Here are my results for the cortisol panel that I took in December. I'm going to be taking hydrocortisone and a supplement called Adren-All. They hydrocortisone is short term and will be dropped after a few months.

My current vitamin D test was 35. I think they would like to see it around 60 so I'll be supplementing even more now.
I am having a hard time increasing my Vitamin D levels also. My LLMD has me taking 10,000 units a day.

Default My ranges were somewhat different

I don't have a scanner so below are my Cortisol results. Different Lab and somewhat different range.
Morning: 32 (Elevated) Range: 13-24 nM
Noon: 16 (ELevated) Range: 5-10 nM
Evening: 8 (Normal) Range: 3-8 nM
Night: 6 (ELevated) Range: 1-4 nM

Remarks: An elevated morning/night cortisol level may be associated with insomnia, and may be the result of a stress response to an emotional or mental situation, nocturnal hypoglycemia, or chronic pain/inflammation.

I also had DHEA tested:
DHEA Free (DHA & DHEA-S
Pooled Value:1 Range: 3-10 ng/ml
High Cortisol, Low DHEA

Well I just started all these new meds and supplements today. But apart from that, I'm getting better every week. I actually had one day this week for I felt sort of like a normal human for a few hours. Of course later that night, when I had needles down my spine, I was reminded that I'm not normal. My daily pain has reduced from a 7-9, down to a 5-6 since these people started helping me. I'm so grateful.

I'm still doing 4000 IU each day, but I'm going to add a 50,000 IU one time per week.

I can't get Drs/ specialist here to do a heavy metal test. They say there is no such thing . Wonder if a natural path would do this stuff?

Yes, maybe look into naturopaths, chiros, or functional medicine docs etc. If you live in a big enough city, you should be able to find someone to do this.

Ask for a test for lead, arsenic, cadmium. They may only know
the name of the test with those labels. (sadly some doctors don't know what heavy metals are! )
