Re: headaches -- thyroid or adrenal? ANNE

[Guest guest]

Anne,

I have had headaches for over 2 years and finally, finally, finally, I

have found out why. For me it has been low blood pressure,

dehydration and low blood volume. I am now taking licorice root

powder and haven't had a headache in 5 days!!! That is unheard of for

me. I am in stage 7 of adrenal fatigue and this is very normal. Just

took me forever to figure it out and get the right treatment.

If you have heart palpitations and drink lots of water and pee it all

our just as fast, there is a good chance you have the same problem.

Just a few days ago there were some posts on licorice so you may want

to go back and read those. I posted the site where I get my powder.

If you can't find it then email me directly.

Good luck!

terms of adrenal support, does it give you energy thanks....

I think you need to be pretty careful with the licorice root powder.

It can raise your blood pressure and it is suppose to balance out the

sodium/potassium in your body. Being in stage 7 I clearly have a need

for this but I also clearly have very, very low blood pressure. I

think with a combo of the low blood pressure, out of balance

sodium/potassium levels and constant dehydration this product is

perfect for me. It is suppose to help increase your blood volume and

help heart palpitations. My palpitations are a ton better. Just not

hearing my heart flop around in my chest has advantages.

I read often times that many of you have high blood pressure. This

isn't something that should be used if you have high blood pressure.

It has helped me in a huge way just not having a constant headache.

That grows so old so fast. I didn't even realize how much better I

would feel without the headache. I have just lived with it for so long.

I still have to drink about a gallon of water a day. I take about 3/4

of a teaspoon of sea salt and I take Florinef. I am still dehydrated.

For those of you who don't know what Florinef is, it helps you retain

sodium. In a nut shell, I am taking just about everything I can take

to keep myself hydrated. My mom was here for a week and I tried to

explain to here what was going on. She said " you really should tell

your doctor about this " . I must go to the bathroom 25 times a day.

She said I had a real problem. Yep...Well, I have and I am taking

everything that I know about to fix it. It is just slow. The

licorice root is helping. Today I finally took the full 1 cup so I

will keep you posted on how it goes.

My only advise, to all of you, is to take care of yourselves and don't

get to stage 7. I highly recommend the first book on this web page.

It is all about adrenal fatigue. Don't let the title fool you because

it is about chronic fatigue syndrome.

http://www.guidance.org/store/health_books.html

The other book I bought is called Mastering Your Life and it is about

3/4 of the way down the page. This one goes through all of the 8

stages of adrenal fatigue. These two books have been amazing in my

slow but steady way up and out of being so darn sick. That and this

group and starting off with Armour and getting off the Sickthryoid.

I would agree. I had been taking it, then my BP went up, so I went

off. Then as I got worse recently, I started having low BP episodes,

so I started the licroice again. But my BP was pretty high again, so

I'm not going to continue.

a,

Thanks so much for the licorice advice! I certainly do have very low blood

pressure, although in the last week I added a substantial amount of salt to

my diet and it seems to have helped a lot. I also added it to my water,

just as you mentioned. I also have low sodium and high potassium blood

levels, plus I've been getting dehydrated. So I will certainly check out

the licorice. I am not on Florinef, but I bet I could be! I'm using

Isocort to help replace the cortisol.

I have a question about the books you mentioned at

http://www.guidance.org/store/health_books.html . I just happened to be

online this weekend looking at them. Could you tell us more? If I could

only afford one of the books, which one should I get and why? Do they

repeat much of the info on his website, because I've been thoroughly reading

through everything he offers there. I was stage 5 about a month ago, but I

think I got worse since then. I do think I'm finally learning what I need

to do to improve, though. I can finally see a light at the end of this

tunnel! :-)

Thanks

Anne, (sorry it took so long for me to reply, I couldn't get on the

net all day yesterday and most of today)

I would probably order the chronic fatigue book first. If you feel

you have a good understanding of the stages of adrenal fatigue and

what you are experiencing then I would suggest the second book. It

really goes into depth about how to truly heal yourself. How to make

life changes to get well.

In one of the books (can't remember which one) it talks about how you

can quickly go from stage 5 to stage 7 in a blink of an eye. That

could have been what happened with you. I honestly believe that is

what happened to me. I had a very stressful event and can tell you

the time and day I hit stage 7. Honestly, stage 7 is a lot better

place to be than the other stages. I had years of so much trouble

with anxiety and depression that I don't want to go there again. In

the first book he talks about how this is all very normal in certain

stages, especially stage 3. I can't tell you how freeing that

information was for me. All these years I thought I was a crazy,

depressed, dog tired looser. It is just the stages and so simply

explained in these books.

If you can do anything to afford both of these books I would tell you

to do it. It could really make the difference in your healing. It

has for me.

Could you please list the title or links for the 2 books, rather

than going thru the posts thx.
