Hi,

I was diagnosed with a 24 hr urine but have since learned that a 24 hr saliva is the best way to be tested. AF and hypo does go hand in hand alot of the time. For me, I think my three years of untreated hypo and I was working a very physical job very sick from the hypo caused the AF.

The treatment has been a slow and frustrating process. The medical institute that finally diagnosed the AF put me on 10mgs of cortisone as treatment and I stayed on that amount for 18 months with little improvement. They wouldn't raise me any higher. I found the STTM site and started self treating and have raised my dosage up to 20mgs and doing some better. Still a process of ups and downs but overall better.

You can order your own saliva tests if you can't find a doc to do it. The cheapest place is supposed to be www.canaryclub.com.
