Guest guest Posted February 16, 2004 Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 He also will be sending me (from Womens Pharmacy in Arizona , not sure if anyone else is getting there meds. from here) Adrenal support , Progesterone combo with something else and Hydro- cortisone . > The raw adrenal enzymes or whatever it is...adrenal cortical product...made at Women's Internationl in AZ is fantastic stuff from what I have heard - supposedly the BEST anywhere...they say you only need to get that ONE TIME and it fixes you right up (I have heard it is expensive, like over $200.)...the natural hydrocortisone is Cortef...the put theirs in olive oil in capsules...sounds like you're on your way to health!!

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2004 Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 I will be curious to see what you think of this DR. Let us know, OK? Got to talk to mt new Doctor Hello, I just wanted to report that I got to talk to my new doctor, DR. Jace in North Hollywood. Well he has me taking 1/2 grain natural thyroid and my reg. Synthroid 125 mcg for seven days , than will up the natural 1/2 a grain and same synthroid for 7 more days than I will drop the synthroid . I can not remember what he said about how much natural he will have me take after dropping the Synthroid . He will be testing again in three weeks . He also will be sending me (from Womens Pharmacy in Arizona , not sure if anyone else is getting there meds. from here) Adrenal support , Progesterone combo with something else and Hydro-cortisone . I really feel he is going to help me get better and I really liked him. I was first upset he wasn't at my first appointment with him , but he was really sick and he called me the next morning. He asked me how I was felling ....when I get up in the morning , during the day , at night , and so on . He ended the conversation with... " We will work together to make you feel better , my goal is to put a kick in your step in the morning , FOR THOSE THREE KIDS OF YOURS!!! " That sounded very caring to me..... I'm not sure what my test said exactly , but he said my T4 were also low and he will be sending me a copy with a packet of other information about what he thinks my body is going through . I think I have gotten a good start on getting better , and I want to say thank you...To who ever started this group , everyone who shares their personal struggles , their stories , who adds info in the files...( this is what really put the fire under my feet...)..Just Thank you to you all!! Wish me luck and any info or input is much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2004 Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 Sounds positive , I have so much to learn still...LOL The cortef ( Hydrocortozone) Do you think three months is a long time to be on this??? Dr. Jace thinks that my insurance will cover most of this , the one he isn't sure of is the Progesterone mix. I hope they will pick up most of the cost , but I have to tell you I'm only down $6.00 as of now. (The price of the natural ) Makes me !! Olive oil...hmmm I cant wait until this shows up on the door step...Not sure what all Im getting.. astrodiana wrote: He also will be sending me (from Womens Pharmacy in Arizona , not sure if anyone else is getting there meds. from here) Adrenal support , Progesterone combo with something else and Hydro- cortisone . > The raw adrenal enzymes or whatever it is...adrenal cortical product...made at Women's Internationl in AZ is fantastic stuff from what I have heard - supposedly the BEST anywhere...they say you only need to get that ONE TIME and it fixes you right up (I have heard it is expensive, like over $200.)...the natural hydrocortisone is Cortef...the put theirs in olive oil in capsules...sounds like you're on your way to health!! --------------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My blue crss does NOT pay for the compounded hormes, BUT that is most likley because WIP will not subimit the claim to BC...there is another compounding pharmacy that does submit it right to your insurance and therefore, most of the time the insurance would pick up the cost or a large portion of it...I have yet to try the other pharmacy myself and am waiting for a new script form my doctor.

No - they usually prescribe it for about 3 months at a time and then reassess...that is a short amount of time, but it is feasible it may be enough.
