Re: High Cortisol and DHEA

[Guest guest]

hmm, that is how I knew that I needed cortef - I would jump out of my skin if

the doorbell rang or if my computer made a noise. After being on cortef for

about 2 months I am much less jittery.

This is also a condition where you would tend to be jumpy, and easily

startled and on edge.

It is interesting that you say that you got jittery when the doorbell rang. I

have an extremely sensitive startle response. It sounds like we are talking

about the samething. I never thought that there was a possible connection to

needing cortisone.

The connection I am making as I write this is that I was abused starting at age

6 and many survivors have sensitive startle responses. Also I have talked to

Dr. Derry who believes that individuals that were abused before age 12 have very

different metabolic systems. I wonder if needing cortisone proves that theory?

It is something that I have never spoken about, but yes, that applies to me -

aged 7 or 8

right...high and low cortisol levels are both signs of adrenal

fatigue and the way to treat it is with cortef..or adrenal support.

Pregnenolone is the basic stuff all this is made from . See Dr.Lam

Now that is an interesting point of view.... being raised in an

environment that was high stress/self protective...... I've got some

major events in my past that caused a lot of extended stress.... one of

wish was a stalker that eventually ran me off the road.... Hmmmmm...

would be an interesting topic to explore....

I tend to agree with this... I was also abused during childhood and

nothing about me was " normal " for a very, very long time. The " history "

has been dealt with and knowing that the mental and emotional stuff can do

a number on the physical health aspects is true. It was my former

psychiatrist and therapist team that taught me that seeking my personal

balance would do more to help me than anything else. But, they also stated

that physical problems that are unresolved or unrelieved can have a

negative affect on the mental/emotional well-being. I am finding that it

is true, which is why I have been working on the problems with my doctor.
