I would encourage you to get your adrenals

tested. You guys know that I was all about hormones until I ran across

Lyme. Orthostatic hypotension (OH), which is what causes you to get dizzy

upon standing up from a lying or sitting position, is an adrenal problem. The

adrenal glands are hugely important in maintaining blood pressure. When

you stand from sitting, your blood pressure is supposed to rise. In OH your

blood pressure drops, causing the dizziness. Salt helps, but I was just

reading that salt does little in the overall blood pressure – it only

accounts for maybe 4-8 pts in the typical diet. Those of us on Salt/C

will probably have more significant measures – maybe even up to 15 (but

this is just conjecture).

Because you are already on Isocort, any

saliva test will have to be interpreted by someone who knows how to do that

while taking steroids. Normally you’d want to be off of any and all

steroids for at least 2 weeks prior to saliva testing. However, if you

have a blood pressure machine and a thermometer, you can get a really good idea

of where your adrenals and thyroid stand. I’ve used this to

determine where my adrenals and thyroid are for well over a year now. It is

amazing how it correlates to how I’m feeling! Here are the links…

http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/temperature/

and http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/adrenal-info/.

Janie (the creator of the stopthethyroidmadness site and book) found out that

her hormones are messed up because of Lyme. Very interesting indeed.

By the way, Isocort was tested by a doctor

and found to only have about 1mg cortisol per pill, not the 2.5mg it claims. Even

so, at 8 pills you may be getting only 8mg, or at most 15mg. Most people

with Adrenal Fatigue seem to need about 25-30mg before noticeable differences

are seen.

If you look at Adrenal Fatigue in general,

it’s almost exactly all the same symptoms as Lyme – at least for me

it is and I usually have 80% of the symptoms on any Lyme or Adrenal Fatigue symptom

list. Here’s a GREAT site on Adrenal Fatigue… http://www.drlam.com/articles/adrenal_fatigue.asp.

Dr. Crist, an LLMD, says that treating hormone imbalances is one major

factor in treating Lyme… http://www.drcharlescrist.com/hormones.htm.

And lastly Dr. Holtorf, who is an

infectious disease doctor, has a great site too. He is my main source of

info on Reverse T3 (which an abundance of RT3 is caused by stress like Lyme or

starvation and causes all sorts of issues). His info on Lyme is very much

in line with what I think most of us know and believe. He’s

something of the ‘whole package’ IMHO, but I’ve heard he’s

a bit gruff in person. I sooo want to see him – I’d love to

know his thoughts. http://www.hormoneandlongevitycenter.com/thyroidtreatments1/

and http://www.hormoneandlongevitycenter.com/lymedisease/.

Anyway, you know I say this because I

care. I only want us all to get better. Fixing my hormones helped

me tremendously, but because Lyme keeps them off balance, I have to kill the

Lyme before I can get them back to normal. That’s my goal right now

– kill Lyme! J

Love you guys… J

Thanks,

I hope you

don't mind, but I sent your story to my kids and husband. It truly was

inspiring an amazing.

That was

interesting about sleeping with your head elavated. I have to stand by my

bed, hanging on with my eyes closed for a few minutes most mornings till my

blood/head equalize. I take 8 Isocort every day as it is! I was

interested in the Excedrin - did that have something to do with your

adrenal/blood pressure or was that for the pain? I might try setting the

Isocort by my bed and taking it before I get out - good idea.

Wonderful

to hear how well you are doing!!

Hi Cheryl

I'm taking Nattokinase, Serrapeptase

and Wobenzym N

Can't say if they're the best but I

just wanted to start taking some to suppliment my dwindling natural supply.

Look around because the prices can

vary a bit. Can't remember where I got them now as I bought a lot of each to

stock up.

I found that if I cut down or

eliminated dairy and sugar my migraines dissapeared for the most part. I must

be allergic to that stuff but I think the sugar high really feeds the migraine

mechanism.

I didn't feel like exercising but

the pain really began to subside when I just started walking 30 minutes a day

then got it up to 60 minutes. I would get most of the pain in the morning but

found it would lessen as I was more active during the day so I just decided to

exercise even though it was painful at the beginning. It has really helped -

far more than I would ever have thought. Now I also work out with weights 2 to

3 times a week. I NEVER feel like it but when I force myself to do it I get

better and better each day. My guess is that it is strengthening my own defense

mechanisms and in the end I do think it's our own bodies that will ultimately

defeat this disease. We certainly can't afford to wait for the medical

community other than a few dedicated homeopaths.

I also found it was better if I

slept in a partial sitting position. I would prop up a bunch of pillows and

sleep at about a 45 degree angle. This seemed to help when my adrenals were way

out of whack. I found my blood pressure would be the opposite of what it should

be. It would go up when I laid down and go down when I stood up and it should

react opposite to that. This way my blood pressure didn't fluctuate as much and

it was easier to get up in the morning. I would also keep a couple of execedrin

and a few Isocourt by my bed and take then about 15 minutes before I had to get

up to get my blood pressure more stabalized. It just helped with the shock each

day of getting up.

Got to run but thanks for the

encouraging words. I just hope it keeps going. I do have a friend who was very

sick with Lyme and he was able to get rid of it through herbs, good food and

exercise so I have hope. We'll see.

~ What an inspiration! How wonderful to be feeling

better and enjoying life! No, I won't try arsnic; but that is what I call

ironic! ;-)

Perhaps you have more to give than you realize - your positive

attitude is always a boon. What enzymes are you using? And do you

feel that they are the best?

I agree with the energy theory. I also believe in God - I

believe God is the energy. Personally, I think we sometimes don't give

God enough credit for the energy - we sort of leave Him drifing on a cloud

somewhere! ;-) Just my thoughts. I have made a stronger effort to

use the energy that God has made available by changing my thought processes and

patterns. It has been quite an interesting journey and has helped with

the healing process. I no longer feel like there is no end to the black

hole; I know that as long as I keep moving towards health it will move towards

me. That is how I look at it anyway - each of us is on our own journey.

I am going to save your e-mail, , as it was truly

inspiring! You should write a book about your experiences. Glad you

Hi Cheryl

I'm definitely doing better. I've

been exercising every day and am slowly getting my life back.

I'm taking MMS but with prune juice

to go easy on my tummy.

I take herbs with no exact order -

whatever feels right.

Exercise is helping A LOT!

I know this may sound outrageous,

and I DON'T want anyone to try it, but a certain person tried to poison me with

arsenic and she almost succeeded. However if you remember the story " Out

of Africa " which was a true story about Isak Dinesen - she got

syphilis from her husband and she went home to England for the cure. Syphilis is

also a spirochete like Lyme and the treatment for syphilis is to take arsenic

to the edge of death. Either you die from arsenic poisoning or it kills the

syphilis and you live. Well two doctors told me I was almost dead but as luck

would have it my system held on (the detoxing was HELL ON WHEELS) as the

spirochetes must have been dying in droves, but I do believe the crazy

bitch who tried to kill me has actually saved me. I'm getting stronger by the

day and can now see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Unfortunately it's not something I

can prove or recommend but as chance would have it what goes around actually

does come around and life does take care of those who mean well. I never did

anything to her but be kind and generous and she decided to kill me because

I didn't want to live with her (small wonder since the wacko is

capable of murdering her sons father). So I am returning to my old self now and

everyone around me can see it. I still have some small symptoms but I'll take

care of them with MMS, herbs, enzymes, and Rifing.

By the way anyone who is Rifing with

's Stolars machine be sure you keep the Frequency calculator he sends you

IN THE FOLDER and do not drag it out of the folder and put it on the desktop or

you will get the wrong frequencies.

Anyway I'm very busy these days and

stay in touch by reading the posts but as you can see I don't have much to

share that others can use. Although I did make great progress with herbs, MMS

and the Rife machine. I want to tell everyone to be careful with the Salt/ Vit

C protocol as it can cause circulation problems if done to excess as I did it.

I think in moderation it is fine.

It's funny how a curse can turn into

a blessing sometimes if you just refuse to give up. I now look forward to the

next 40 years of my life because I am determined to acquire robust health and

keep it until I'm well over 100. I work with 2 guys in their twenties and at 63

I'm stronger than they are. Exercise and weight lifting along with systemic

enzymes is a large answer along with juicing and good food I think.

I'm teaching my love to play golf and when we go to the practice range we

notice a funny familiar pattern. Within 15 minutes of me starting to pound golf

balls into the stratisphere (about 300 to 320 yards) almost all the other

men leave the range. Finally one of them came over to us and asked me to teach

him and when we asked him why everyone kept leaving soon after we came he

replied that no one wants to watch a 63 year old man knock the ball 50 to 150

yards past them. So this disease has really been a blessing because it's taught

me how to stay strong and flexible and a lot of it has to do with herbs and

enzymes. We lose 90% of our enzyme production by the time we're 28 so replacing

them is crucial. Also getting so sick helped me value being well and

steeled my determination to be well again.

I must also say that despite the

fact that it cannot be quantified I feel strongly that life is mostly just

energy and to that end it is probably very important to develop a spiritual and

mental aspect to connect to power and guidance that is beyond our own ability.

I'm not trying to convince anone but for those of you who already feel there is

a power greater than you I highly recommend you tap into that power to guide

your recovery.

I can't stress this enough where I

am concerned because when all seemed hopeless I kept going on the faith that

something larger than me was guiding me. I'm not trying to preach in any way -

I'm allergic to preaching - but I've been sober for 37 years in AA and it is a

basic spiritual program that I was fortunate enough to embrace. When all else

failed I just turned it over to a higher power and was taken on a jouirney I

certainly would not have chosen or forseen. In the end my life definitely works

better when I tap a power in the universe that is greater than I am. Star wars

called it The Force but I doubt it cares what you call it. And like electricity

it works when you flip the switch even if you don't believe it. For those not

desperate enough to use such stuff just disregard this last bit. I just wanted

to be totally honest about what I believe has gotten me through this god awful

disease.

I'm still truckin and if it takes a

turn for the worse I'll let you know but for now it's definitely getting better

every day.

Hi Cheryl

Sorry about the gas problem. You can

do a few things. Try feeding the raw in the morning and the dry at night (or

the other way around). We found that alternating between raw and a good grain

free dry each day helped (raw in the AM and dry in the PM). Also try adding

some Enzymes and probiotics to his food.

We're going to be online in about 3

months so you'l be able to get a new food that's out that is great because it's

not only grain free but potato free as well. The high glycemic index of the

white potato has been causing some of the dogs problems. The sugar definitely

adds to the gas problem. This food is called Great Life and in addition to

being grain free and potato free it has a viable enzyme coating. It's the

ONLY dry that does. Our 20 year old dog has had a loose stool for the last year

but when we added Great Life to his diet his stool was fine in 2 days and has

been good ever since.

If all else fails hold a lit match

by his butt so when he farts he'll light up the room with a huge woosh and a

ball of flame and probably never pass gas again.

Hi, !~

Haven't seen you on the forum in a while. Hope this means

you are feeling better, busy and having a good time! ;-) I've been

meaning to email and ask you a quick dog question.

I have a toy yorkipoo, male. He is a stinker - literally!

;-) He can smell up the whole downstairs! I have never had a dog

that passes gas as much as this little fellow. It seems to be more in the

evening. We will all be relaxing watching TV and we are gassed out of the

family room! If he gets fresh meat, it is usually in the evening.

But I thought fresh meat was good for him - why would it make his pass

gas? Any ideas would be appreciated. It is embarrassing when we

have guest over for dinner!!!!

Hope all is well with you and yours,

From a hormone perspective, it can be because

there is cortisol being excreted at night, when it shouldn’t be. Cortisol

is highest in the am and tapers off to very minimal amounts at night. If your

hormones are screwed up, you can be reversed, having very little during the day

and too much at night. Cortisol is what wakes you up in the morning! If you

are getting a shot in the middle of the night, it will wake up you. I’m

relying on my memory for that, so it may be a bit off! It could be the

adrenaline too. All I know for sure is low cortisol during the day would make

you wake early and often in the middle of the night. I used to do that, but I

pretty much sleep through the night now since my cortisol is taken during the

day and my night production of it has reversed.

Having very little cortisol during the day

will cause you to have too much adrenaline (trying to compensate for lack of

cortisol). That’s what gives you the wired but tired feeling. People

with adrenal fatigue usually feel better after about 6pm and generally consider

themselves night owls. This is because food makes you release cortisol, and

after your evening meal you’ve finally made enough cortisol througout the

day to finally ‘wake up’.

As I told Cheryl, Isocort was tested to

not have the 2.5mg of cortisol it claims – it’s more like 1mg. Taking

4mg, even if it had the 2.5mg, isn’t enough if you have adrenal fatigue. There

is this weird thing that happens when you take cortisol. Your body gets used

to what you are putting in it, so it reduces it’s endogenous production.

In other words, say your body normally makes 40mg a day. If you start taking

10mg cortisol, for a short time you’ll have 50mg availalble. But if you

continue to take that 10mg for a while, your body will down regulate and start

making only 30mg, because you are supplying the other 10mg externally. To get

over this, you have to take a full physiological dose – you’d have

to take more than your body’s normal production of 40mg in order to have

more available in your system for use. That’s why people feel good when

they first start taking cortisol – it is a bit extra in their system! But

then their body adapts and they go back to ‘normal’. Cortisol is

needed to use thyroid hormones effectively. Thyroid is important in cell

metabolism – that’s the ATP cycle and is what gives you energy and

drives cell functions. Without thyroid, your cells don’t work right and

without cortisol, thyroid can’t get into the cell to be used. (Which

reminds me I need to post about ATP cycle! I just can’t seem to get my

thoughts organized enough to do that!)

All that being said, try to take a few

more Isocort to see how you feel. If you feel better, then you need it! Of

course, after a while your body will adapt and you’ll need more. This is

what happened to me. I started out with Isocort, but very quickly it became

obvious that it wasn’t enough. I was super scared of taking cortef, but

I am well over that fear now. I attribute my feeling as good as I do to

cortef, thyroid and florinef because that’s all I took in the beginning –

I took no supplements for months. The supplements I take now help too, but

nothing made me feel as good as getting the proper hormones in me!

Again… just trying to help. J

Hi Cheryl,

You got me to thinking. Someone said

that waking in the night can be low blood sugar, triggering the adrenals that

there is stress, and the adrenals wake the sleeper. As my sleep is broken up

into 2-hr. chunk most nights, I'm looking for a way around these wakings, as

sometimes it's hard to get back to sleep afterward. Been kind of tired

lately.

I take 4 IsoCort a day. I'm wondering if

having them by the bedside to take when waking would be a sensible thing, or

whether I should just up my dose. I tend to ration things, as the endless

orders for supplements really adds up.

Whaddaya think?

Be well,

Léna
