Thanks, yes I totally agree, a test taken whilst you're living an abnormally stress-free life due to weak adrenals, is defeating the object! Though I do
think living this sort of life is still quite stressful in its own way. Anyway they should have advised you properly about that as it's common sense.
For this reason I was planning to stop taking all supplements and try to be 'normal'...though must admit I'm afraid to do this in case I have a severe relapse which takes me a while to recover from.....tricky! At least it will give an accurate picture of my health though.
I know what you mean about late sleeping. I try and force myself go to bed early which makes me wake early, feeling much more refreshed. According to Andy Cutler mercury toxic people are late to bed and late to rise types. Not suggesting you're merc toxic! I think it applies to people who are generally adrenally weak. The extra sleep IMO provides extra cleansing time for the body.
I'd never heard of IDWL...looks a very interesting lab.
