Guest guest Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 >>1: Do I need to do a test or go by symptoms only? 2: Should I order adrenal support on my own? Which kind? 3: Why are doctors(mine is a good one)so hesitant to prescribe adrenal support<< 1. It is ALWAYS best to test first 2. I would wait as you r doc seems to be doing pretty good! 3. Because of the fears from side effects that are produced in pharmacological doses that is all they have usually heard about as treating adrenal fatigue is a fairly new concept to them. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV My Ebay Jewelry Store http://stores.ebay.com/valeriescrystalcreations http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But is 24hour urine better? I have heard that blood testing for cortisol is not very accurate. Also what about female hormones(I am a menstrating 36 year old)I score somewhat low on the self tests in Hertoghe's book. I know there is a comprehensive test for Adrenals and Female hormones at canary club. Would this be my best bet to get everything tested and how reliable is it? Sorry so many questions but now that the Armour has kicked in slightly, I can think more clearly and remember what life used to be like and want desperately to return to that leve of functioning Dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
