J.T.
I'm a chiropractor that has had much success in this area. If you were given a blood test to test your cortisol, that's only a snapshot and has many more facets to look at. The saliva test I perform in my office will test not only an entire days worth of your cortisol levels (they should go in an up and down rhythm), but will test DHEA, progesterone, insulin, sIgA, gliadin (the last two are very sensitive to whether you're gluten intolerant or sensitive). From these tests I can put you on a very specific vitamin and supplement regime using whole food products to help support your adrenals and get them back on line. If you would like an consultation, at no charge, please call my office at ###-###-####. I'm in Plano. I should only be about 25 minutes from you if you go up 75 to 190. I'm just 5 minutes North on Coit off of 190. If, during the consultation, you wish to get a full exam it will be only $45 (saves $220 for my mamapedia moms!). The adrenal saliva test is $200 and the nutritional consult after is $65 with one follow up in 30 days. I will also give you 10% off your first supplement order. I really hope to help you and get you off this medication roller-coaster. I'm guessing that with your prednisone history that you have gone through a significant autoimmune issue or chronic inflammatory condition?
