Costochondritis (rib and chest pain)

[Guest guest]

Does anyone find that Cortef or Armour causes chest and/or rib pain to flair?

Every time I try

to take anything for my thyroid and adrenal problems, I get so much chest/rib

pain, I finally

give up. But there's no doubt that I need both adrenal and thyroid support.

I'm pretty sure this is Costochondritis -- meaning that it's " harmless " chest

pain that won't

kill me, but no one knows what to do about it, or exactly what causes it. It

goes away if I

don't take Cortef, but then I have practically no energy and a lot of other

nasty symptoms,

particularly severe fatigue, headaches, and crashing under the slightest stress!

I just have to

solve this problem this time.

THANKS! Violet

Violet,

I have had Costochondritis may of times. There have been a couple times it

hurt so bad I went to ER as I felt that I was having a minny heart attack.

Yesteerday morning I felt this and I had such trouble breathing (which is

not like me the breathing part. ) I am so sick of the ER I just waited for

hours and it passed. This of course was probabley the one time I needed to

go.

I am tracking all this in a notebook but in all honesty I need to find a new

doc because I am recommend to supposivley good and understanidng ones and

once they see my lab work because nothing to them seems too off they look

at me like get to together lady. I am about to go to the Mayo Clinic, but

they do not deal with FM, adrenals, etc,, at least not the one in Arizona.
