Guest guest Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 Not sure if I'm doing this right, but here goes. I, too, was swayed by Suzanne and Wiley book. I'm glad I listened to my intuition also. I was ready to do the WP, but saw her on Larry King and wanted to like her, but really didn't like how she conducted herself. It's hard to trust someone like that, so I found this group and have been lurking for a while. On Sam's recommendation I'm exploring adrenal and thyroid issues (tests are in the mail), but have a few questions. I have periods of time where I feel generally fine, and others, like the past several days where I wake up exhausted and stay that way for a period of time. Should I do my adrenal testing on a day when I'm more symptomatic or does it matter? Same w/ iodine test? I have noticed sensation in my adrenal areas for the past several days as well, and my ovary was hurting on one day (this started on 5th day of my cycle). Any ideas about this? Finally, I'm taking 20mg Progesterone gel days 14-28 and have noticed increased belly fat, maybe I should stop for now until I figure everything out? I've been taking almost a year after saliva tests showed "Estrogen Dominance." I increased to 40mg and had lots of headaches during period and saliva tests then showed Progesterone Dominance! Haven't tested since then.... thank you for your help. I feel like I'm all take and no give right now (on these boards). I get despairing on these tired days, I have 3 boys 6-13 and it's not good when I'm not up to the task! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 Probably would be wise to see what your saliva results are. Would be interesting to see if you have TPO (thyroid) antibodies because that would point to something like Hashimotos, which can cause ups and downs, but then again other things, like weak adrenals, could be afoot, too.
