I have to say my son is not phased by blood tests anymore but we have been there as far as that is concerned and I didn't like it either.  Do you suppose Sean that the cortisol would rocket in the blood so quickly---I do think so huh!  Perhaps the urine tests could be used to actually take a look "after" bloods have been assessed to either rule out over suppression or take it into consideration.  Maybe "ALL" kids should have this on the day before their blood drws for that reason!  Well observed there!  That is why I like this mb.
