Debbie,

It could be low testosterone.

in Va.

This is me too! The last couple years have been especially bad and I

thought it was all due to thyroid and kept changing doseages-- now I'm

more certain all the time that it was my adrenals.

I've walked 3-4 miles a day for years and then I just started losing

muscle tone -- it made no sense! I couldn't stand feeling my calves

jiggle when I walked. I'm not overweight, so others couldn't see what

the problem was. But I was so weak since I'd lost so much muscle.

When I told my dr that this was a major problem for me, he just asked

if I had considered seeing a personal trainer! Aarrgh! That wasn't

the problem -- it was that my body was not capable of making or

keeping the muscle! What would a personal trainer do for that?!

Anyway, I think I'm on the right track now by treating my adrenals --

but I hate to speak too soon since it's only been a couple months!

It helps to know it wasn't just me with this problem. At the time, I

couldn't find anyone else and thought I was making a big deal out of

nothing!

Debbie
