Re: Adrenal achiness?

June 27, 2006

I had my surgery last week and had dexamethasone or some such in my IV. I felt an adrenal crash that night and the docs would not give me any more and I had not brought my cortisol. I insisted and the docs finally gave in and gave me half a dose.

I felt really good.

Now I am replacing cortisol as usual and adding a bit more, but I seem to be worn out. Any recommendations on how much to be adding while mending from surgery? My stitches do not come out until July 11, I don't even know how many I have.

Perhaps I am not supplementing enough but I am worried I am becomming so dependent on cortisol or pred.

Thanks,

-- Adrenal achiness?

Hi!I'm new to this group. I've been on the thyroid group for the past few weeks. I started on Armour at the beginning of the month. I'm up to 1 3/4 grains.I just did my Canary Saliva tests today. I have a lot of symptoms of adrenal fatigue. I'm curious to see how the saliva tests come out. I don't have a doctor to work with for the adrenal support.Do adrenals ever ache? I have a bilateral back ache. It could be muscular but I don't think so. I don't have any symptoms of a UTI. I look forward to working my way through your files.Thanks,Kim in Texas

Kim,

I certainly have had the achiness.

I get it most often when I have just woken. In fact, it has even woken my up.

Adria,

Thanks for your response. I'll keep observing. I was wondering

what I could have done that would cause the deep muscles in that

area to ache. I thought " I'll have been doing is working (online at

a computer) certainly nothing differnt " . I certainly have not been

up to working out.

When I drug myself out of bed this morning to feed the horses, it

clicked. My husbands and daughter usually feed the horses. I have

been moving a bale of hay over to the wheel barrel and then tossing

several flakes at a time over the fence. A task I'm certainly

capable of but I'm using muscles that don't normally get worked like

that. Maybe that is what I'm feeling. I guess time will tell.

Could be Kim, could be.

I had thought my achiness was due to a difference in pooh picking, but then it didn't go away like a muscle ache due to change of activity should have. That's when I realized what it was. Also, my DHEA was a 2 in a range of 3-10.

Hi Kim. It was Monday when I had to go feed our horses that my husband

or daughter usually feed that I first realized something was REALLY

wrong too. By the time I got through with the horses, goats, and

chickens and got back to the house I was shaking like a leaf. Then the

next day I was SO sore from going up and down the steps in the barn.

That has never happened before. And as much as I love to ride, I just

can't get up enough " gumption " to even want to ride anymore. There has

to be an answer!

Hi Kim, and welcome.

I too have aches in the adrenal area, usually in the morning. Isocort

has helped.

I have the ache as well. I thought it was a bad lower back after the birth

of my son. Now, in hindsight, I had (1) back menstrual cramps; (2) back

labor with both my kids; (3) chronic low back pain since the birth of my

son. Hmmmm.... (duh!) Now myback bothers me if I'm late with my Isocort,

I'm under stress (emotional or physical), or when I stand for any length of

time. Guess what? I don't have menstrual cramps in my back anymore. I

was sorta floored the first time I had cramps in my abdomen, it was a

totally new thing to me, a few months ago!
