I haven't done anything for adrenals, I have for my hormones.....I am afraid to screw with my adrenals because they seem to be hypersensitive if anything.......sometimes they just fire off for no reason now that I am on thyroid. > > We are wishing the best for you. > > Janie > >> Thanks.

When it comes to thyroid, I hope you will eventually understand that we can have better knowledge than your own doc, unless he's extremely knowledgeable, which most are not. It's certainly a good sign if this one put you on the Armour. A knowledgeable doc will be also test your free T3 and free T4, your adrenals, your female hormones, DHEA, etc. We are all hoping the best for you, and that you have a good doc!!

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2003 Report Share Posted March 18, 2003 Hi , I didn't accuse you of anything. My point is that you obviously can't afford to go to school and spend the money to get well, so its either one or the other. It sounds to me like you know what is wrong and you know what to do. I really wasn't attacking you or anything. I guess I really don't understand why you are so defensive. We are only trying to help you with some suggestions. It certainly is your choice. Nobody is forcing you to do anything. We care about you and really want you to get better and feel good. That's what we all want for ourselves and each other.
