How do you test adrenal function? I think my adrenals are not functioning well, that some of my symptoms may be related to that? My LLMD is ignoring this and all my other symptoms. I need to find another LLMD but in the meantime I feel like I am directing my own treatment. I am overwhelmed.

you need to do the 24 hour saliva cortisol test, also test aldosterone and renin, sodium and potassium.
Don't eat foods high in sodium before testing aldosterone and certain meds can affect results( I don't remember which ones)

I do have adrenal fatigue. Based on my results, my doctor prescribed supplements. They are definitely helping.

Sammi what supplements are you using? I was put on pregnenolone and pjosphatidylsirene but I feel awful on them.

Ellen101, did you have saliva testing done?
I take four supplements: Adapten-All, Adreset, SedaLin, and Adrene-Vive. My doctor ordered these based on my test results.
