It will never happen. I am i Canada and in a rather rural area. I managed to somehow find the only doctor in a 60 mile radius accepting patients. He just got out of med school and I heard through the gravevine about him - thank god! I searched the Ontario college of Physicians and Surgeons, and sure enough, he was still accepting patients. He has probably already met his quota. Anyway, he will be my doctor for everything unless I need a referal to a specialist. He thinks desiccated is ancient mashed up glands, so I just don't see how I could persuade him to get my adrenals checked. He's just not progressive at all, but at least I have a doctor for my kiddos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case if i were you i'd get some sort of adrenal support and take it -- Best regards, Alison http://www.alisonashwell.com mailto:alison.ashwell@... new work uploaded http://www.artwanted.com/alisonashwell http://www.voodoochilli.net/artists/alisonashwell/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 , my strategy for getting my adrenals tested was to say that I want you to write in my notes " patient thinks she has adrenal insufficiency. " Once they do that..they have to test...they are opening themselves to legal action if it later transpires that you have. They tested mine straightaway after I said that!!! They were borderline...absolutely just...very just O.K. After a stimulation test my Cortisol level rose to 550...if it had been 549 it would have been adrenal insufficiency...makes you want to spit!!!!!! Anyway..try that approach...it could just work!

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 http://www.allocca.com/basal_temperature.pdf. Hi & everyone, I was just surfing the net & came accross this website all about thyroids, adrenals etc & it's very good. A section on adrenals mentions dark rings under the eyes. I found it useful anyway & it references Broda & basal temp testing too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 Order your own from places like salivatest.com. Are you all allowed to import these tests and send them back out?
