Guest guest Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 I'm glad you mentioned that, I was beginning to wonder if adrenals were taken lifelong like the thyroids or if it was only a temp fix until things got going again on their own. (stewlis)ville, NC, USA ..... 'topperism'?? hehehehehe Oh... and I ponder.... ROTFLMAO! But... I do follow your logic. The low thyroid causes the Adrenals to not be able to function with all their 'wheels' and the gland is trying to cover, as best it can, for as long as it can, for low thyroid.... yeah... that makes sense... Reminds me too.... someone mentioned in a post that I caught just before shutting down that they were bummed at the thought of adding another med to the pile..... The thing with adrenal fatigue is that it's a case of over worked and tired out glands... not damaged glands... what you do is add adrenal support to ease the work load while they recover.... once recovered you no longer need the adrenal support.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 With adrenals, some one jump in with what it's called... My brain has a whole in it right now.... when the adrenals fail it's called......... and then you die. It takes a LOT to do that though.... We just have to help them out so that they can get their strength back and the thyroid levels are up.. then they are happy little buggers again!

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 In my case, Topper, it's going to be a combination of a couple of things, with the bladder, that is. One is chronic hypo's effects on ligaments, tendons, sinues, and such, of such long duration. I now have a stage II cystocele, which is, simply put, a sinking of the bladder into the vaginal canal. The second reason for this is having carried 4 babies directly sitting on a waning uterus (hypo and time frame), close together pregnancies, then having a full hysterectomy, cervix included, without having a bladder lift at all (stupid doctor had no urologist do this, and I didn't know any better!). I did all those Kegler Exercises repeatedly and exercised during my pregnancies, but to no avail. I was very healthy then (or was I?) in every way, except that after these pregnancies I did form a stenosed (narrowed) urethra, which they tried to correct yrs ago, but never got it corrected, obviously. This causes the urine not to be released all at once, rather, "little and often". Thus, with both the direct effects of relaxed muscles and tendons and such, plus this history, it's been a real trip with my bladder. That means that I have to go little and often, when you combine the urethral stricture, a relaxed pelvis, bladder spasms (which is another nerve problem probably related to hypo), and a sinking bladder syndrome. Quite a combo for some people, don't know what YOUR combo is, besides the lymph fluid. I actually need a surgery, and I heard that there is one available. Now to win the lottery. BTW, my boss JUST implemented health insurance, BUT this is a preexisting condition that is on record in the local urologist's office, so I would have to wait one yr to go document that and get something done about it. I'm excited about the insurance, but then there is a deductible. Hey, I'm happy that there's a 70% coverage, that's certainly better than nothing, but that deductible may bite me in the butt. Re: Bladder Good question.... I always related my need to run, at times, from moving about. Sitting down I can go for extended periods of time before relief breaks.... but when I'm up and moving about or after MLD I have to go...... Moving about helps move lymph fluid... so I figure that is what it is.. .move around... more fluid movement... my body is able to process more and I have to pee.... Good subject to discuss though... What if it isn't what I think it is, for me??? Topper () Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 My brain has to chew on this..... After MLD I pee like a race horse..... during the day, often not nearly as much... and on stressed and busy days, I have to go more often, but not as much... see... that's sad.. after talking about this here the other day I've been paying more attention to how and when I pee... hehehehehehe I just have to chew on this.....

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 Carol have you been tested for diabetes? Frequent peeing and excessive thirst point to the need for that test. --- lecody wrote: > Carol, > > You can and you are drinking too much water!!!!!! > Try cutting down to two of those 64 oz...or are you > sweating alot down in Florida? > > C. > Re: Bladder > > > In a message dated 12/05/2005 2:57:46 PM Eastern > Standard Time, topper2@... writes: > After MLD I pee like a race horse..... during > the day, often not nearly as much... and on stressed > and busy days, I > I have always gone all day long.
