Adrenal testing feedback

[Guest guest]

Cheri,

Thanks for the reply.

I see this doctor because he is the only doc I have that will adrdress my

issues. I was told I have Fibromyalgia, but after alot of researching and

testing I believe my low adrenals are more the the problem. I am trying to get

into a Endo in Las Vegas where I reside. The couple I found on the direcory of

good Endo's are forever to get into. The others take no insurnane like my

cuurent Intergrtive doc.

I think you are right .My Pdoc might be thinking Predinisone. I had to g to

the ER a couple months ago I was in so much pain and the ErRgave me 60 mg. of

Predinisone to start and it caused my mood to be erractic. Way to high of dose

as well as predisone way harder on the body the HC.Took all the pain away but

not worth it.

My intergrative doc gave me HC .Do you feel that this is good or is Cortef or

Isocort for third stage low adrenals better in your opinion ?

Also, I know you have done alot of research from some of your posts you stated

due to not having insurance. Did you have low adrenals as well as thyroid

imbalance? What has helped you the most in getting healthier?

I made notes and brought up alot of the things listed on stopthemadness.com

,as well as this group. One thing he it does is that he feels that a low dose of

thyroid with HC is how to treat me.This is not right ,as and several

sources have made it clear ,that the adrenals must be dealth with first. So when

my tests come back free t3 and I get the canary tests, I will approach him again

with adrenals first and if he does not want to help that route I hopefully will

get into a good Endo and they will be able to assist me. Do to being on some

anti depression medications I would be concerned if a doctor was not keeping an

eye on my progress.

Thanks,

a

I never heard of HC causing depression. Maybe at super high doses but

won't be doing super high doses.

The Canary Club tests are the cheapest. $141 It is cheaper than doing just

cortisol and you get the extra ones so you might as well do it. They are a

nonprofit org which is why they can do it so cheaply.

Your integrative doc sure charged you a lot.

RE: HC and Adrenal testing feedback

I spoke to my psychiatrist on starting HC, that I most likey will need

and he warned me that it can cause worse depression. I do understand

that adrenals being in the dumps and thryoid can have me feeling low

and unmotivated at times.

Has anyone heard of HC causing more depression?

I also posted today if anyoen knew of a place I can get a farely good

price on just the adrenal salvia kit? I just put out $312 at my

Intergrative doc and I on SSI.

Thanks for anyone with feedback!(=
