Re: Fair complexion - Question on Angioedema

[Guest guest]

Irene,

I have a question on your daughter falling. The reason I am zeroing in on that is because of the Adrenal fatigue possibility. I have had hives for 14 years and about two years ago I started falling. Getting dizzy and just falling. Then I began having black outs where I would just find myself on the floor, not knowing when or how i ended up there. What I did find out is that in addition to other things, I had adrenal fatigue. The doctor did a test for cortisol levels. What was happening to me is that over time my little adrenal glands would have to work so hard to help me deal with hiving that they would pump up and work hard, then they would work so hard that they didn't know how to stop working, so they worked all the time. That made me jumpy. No one could walk up to me without me jumping in fright. My family couldn't even have a conversation without me jumping or screaming quickly. I had also, by this time, contracted severe shaking. I couldn't even get a spoon of soup to my mouth without spilling it. I went to a neurologist because that should be my problem....well...I really don't want to go into all that but suffice to say...she sucked, and thank God I was fed up with doctors by that time and I was often the defient child and tell them they were full of crap. Anyway, she never ran any tests regarding my Adrenal problems. Never knew to wonder about those little babies on top of my kidneys. (Interesting side note: I have also had Kidney stones for years and now understand that the adrenal glands can provoke some type of overactivity).

So...my question....what else is wrong with her? Urt is a symptom. Has she been tested for all hormonal problems? Has she been on years of antibiotics?

Just wanted to share...
