6-sample blood cortisol test available in the US

After reading today’s post from u/AwesomelyHubble about ubinquinol I decided to look for an at-home CoQ10 test to check my levels. I found a place called Ulta Lab Tests with a large array of tests you can buy (unless you live in Hawaii, New Jersey, New York or Rhode Island). These are not at-home tests but blood and/or urine draws you schedule at a local lab.

The reason for this post is that they have a 6-sample blood cortisol test that you can order. You may know that in the US it is very difficult to get an endocrinologist to order a day curve. I’ve wanted to do this ever since diagnosis and never found a good way to do this. I have done 4-sample at-home saliva tests but I would have more confidence in using the results if they were blood levels, and it would be great to have more than r samples.

Where did all the answers go? IPadOS and Android

When scrolling through posts on the main page I see the post’s title and the first few lines. Under that is the up-arrow and down-arrow for up/down votes. To the right of that is a count of comments on the post. Why is that sometimes when I go to read the post there is only one comment or perhaps no comments when comment count says something like “27”? This happens with several subreddits but the one I notice most is r/AskHistory. I see a fascinating question with a high count of comments and I get so disappointed when these are actually no answers.
