Guest guest Posted November 6, 2004 Report Share Posted November 6, 2004 Oh gracious! I'm having the exact same heat/cold symptoms. And was just going to order some more DHEA which I quit taking months ago. Will that just be another waste of money?

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2004 Report Share Posted November 6, 2004 Well, yeah, they should have, except that most doctors don't believe adrenal exhaustion exists.

I would never suggest that somebody start treating adrenal exhaustion, with hormones or anything else, without checking their levels first. When I say that heat and cold intolerance points to adrenal exhaustion, I mean it's something one would do well to check into. While your thyroid sets your overall " engine speed " , it's your adrenals that cope with changes on a moment to moment basis. When they are exhausted, many kinds of changes, both physical and emotional, become harder to adjust to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 6, 2004 Report Share Posted November 6, 2004 When I bring up adrenal exhaustion, it's only to suggest that you have your adrenal function tested, *not* that you go ahead and treat yourself as if you had it. I would worry about taking any hormone without knowing the whole story first. Caroline wrote: > Oh gracious! I'm having the exact same heat/cold symptoms.

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2004 Report Share Posted November 6, 2004 Then that's also me, though I've never yet been tested. I can't tolerate either one. I feel like I want to lay down and die and stop breathing in the heat. Now that my thyroid levels are improved somewhat (but the T4 is now low again, i.e., antibodies have done their dirty work probably over the last couple of yrs or so, but that's another post), I'm loving the 50 something degrees here right now, for the first time in 3 solid yrs! cold-hot > > From: Gray > Cold all the time points to thyroid dysfunction, but intolerance to both hot and cold points to adrenal exhaustion.<<<< > > Ahh, well this makes sense, for me, as to my heat intolerance (just being worse than my cold intolerance, they're both miserable)...and the one threw the doctors off the track of diagnosing my hypothyroid--But they should have caught on all the more to my " adrenal exhaustion " , hmmm??? sigh. > > ~Mommaritzy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 6, 2004 Report Share Posted November 6, 2004 So you're saying I shouldn't take any DHEA until I have my adrenals tested?

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2004 Report Share Posted November 6, 2004 I wouldn't, personally. But the real reason I said that is I don't want anybody to start treating themselves for adrenal exhaustion just because I said they might have it. I'm not omniscient; I'm just telling you what I've gotten from my reading. You have to find out if you really do have adrenal exhaustion. And if you do, you might find you're low in DHEA, but you might find your DHEA is fine and your pregnenolone is low. Or some other combination. I would just want more information before starting any kind of treatment.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2004 Report Share Posted November 7, 2004 Okay then I'll hold off on ordering the DHEA then. I've yet to complete the Dr. Rind Adrenal/Thyroid Function test. I'll try to get my printer working some time this week & get that printed & take that test. Caroline Re: cold-hot I wouldn't, personally.
