Thank you . Wow - your story is amazing. Are you 100% well

now? I hope so. Thank you for the help you give to those of us on

this message board.

I think I told you the last time I posted that I was going to a new

doctor (actually a PA) and you said it would be hard to find someone

who would treat the adrenals. Well, you were right - she (like my

endo) does not believe in adrenal fatigue.

So should I stay away from salt? I thought from what I have read here

that you should not work on your thyroid until you get your adrenals up

to snuff (?). I had open heart surgery (mitral valve repair) 4 years

ago and have gained 15 pounds since then and have never been able to

lose weight until cutting out sugar and wheat and fruit (which is so

hard to cut out fruit). I also have had a lot of personal stressors -

Mom's death, uncle, grandmother, etc. over the last 6 years.

I have a lot of belly fat - in fact, it is a very thick belly fat and

my stomach protrudes - just like my Dad's did - I believe he had

hypothyroidism - he died of a heart attack at age 63. :(

So no salt? When I get the results of my saliva test, will you help me

with the next step, because my docs certainly cannot help me.

Thanks ! Happy Thanksgiving.

Are you still on BP medicines? You are saying that I could go on a

diuretic-type BP med for at least a while to help control things - do

you think I will need to be on this forever?

Thanks.

No while I have healed some things, I have new things that have

come up, like I am Diabetic, and most these things are from long term

damage form YEARS of Synthroid. I also have adrenal problems with

fluctuating levels of cortisol.

I would never tell ANYONE to avoid salt! Avoid refined salt and

processed foods that contain salt YES, but natural sea salt is very good

for you and the body needs sodium. Let's wait and see how bad your

adrenals are. If you have high cortisol aws I suspect you might, you can

start thyroid with that. It is really low cortisol you need ot treat

before starting thyroid.
