Cortisol testing

For you that have done it, did you do a urine, blood or saliva test?

Anyone?

I have never done this or known of any who may have..

Fuzo is getting this tested in a blood test but I know you can do saliva and urine, as well.

Are there reasons why he is undergoing this kind of test?

I understand how cortisol works, as I have done a lot of research on it. I mean the body is such complex ecosystem.

Having many edema issues for about 8 months now following many epidural/cortisone injections over a short period of time.. Many things ruled out and doc says possible high cortisol. Need to rule that out.

If cortisol is indeed high, what have you learned about how to lower it?

Magnesium. omega 3, and vitamin c will help lower cortisol levels, among a list of other things..Sexual intercourse being one..

Stress, high stress will cause increased cortisol also, so message therapy, stresss management things along those lines will aslo help lower cortisol.

Sexual intercourse helps with more than just lowering potentially high cortisol levels :D :D :D
