    My hospital website has a page for each yest and how to use the result. It says for this test 300 and above *and no systemic illness* means no need to test further. It doesn't say what the threshold is if you have "systemic illness".

    I didn’t follow up on this as I had a lot of other things going on medically around this time / just after this, sorry. And I haven’t followed up on it since, as I actually forgot about it until you tagged me!

    that is interesting that it notes that, as battling an illness would mean that theoretically your body might be throwing eg maximum cortisol at it. So instead of it being a 9am basal cortisol, it is 'peak' potentially / the way to see if there is a difference between the two is synacthen?
