My first
cortisol saliva test in March 2012 was before starting CT3M at the end of March.
3/2012
AM 18.2 (2.4-33.7) This result was about mid-range, which is 18.05
Noon
6.9 (1.2 - 17.8) This result is in the 3rd quarter of the range. The
bottom quarter of the range is 1.2-5.35 And 9.6 is mid-range.
PM 5.4 (.5 - 12.1) This result is a bit below mid-range, which is 6.3. The top quarter of the range is .5-3.4
Night 2.3 (.3 - 11.0) This result is in the top quarter which is .3-3.0
I believe that these
March results were SKEWED HIGH because of the adrenal supplement I had
been taking less than two weeks before.
Although, it's possible that
even if my levels weren't skewed terribly high, that they dropped
further by May because Ct3M wasn't working using NDT. I did feel a lot
better when I started using T3 for it in June.
5/28
AM 11.4 (2.4 - 33.7) This result is just above top quarter, which is 2.4-10.23. Mid-range is 18.05
Noon 2.7 (1.2 - 17) This result is in the top quarter, which is 1.2-5.15
PM 1.5 (.5 - 12.1) This result is in the bottom quarter, which is .5-3.4
MN .6 (.3 - 11.0) This result is in the bottom quarter which is .3-3.0
I switched CM dose to T3 (iron was low) and slid NDT into daytime doses.
10/29/12
Morning 0.88 (0.27 - 1.18) This result is in the 3rd quarter .725-.95 (that is mid-range to the bottom of the top quarter)

Evening 0.10 (0.05 - 0.27) This result is at the top of the bottom quarter which is .05-.11 Mid-range is .16
Bedtime <0.03 (0.03 - 0.14) Perfect.
