Success with Derealization!

June 16, 2010

I am posting this here and to the NTH Adreanl group since so many seem to suffer

from this debilitating condition, which I will abbreviate as DP (for

depersonalization, which is pretty much the same thing and most have both).

Anyway, long story short, it went almost completely away once I increased my HC.

Unfortunately, I had to take a lot of HC due to my symptoms of shakiness,

trembling, feeling spaced out all the time, feeling like I was going to " fade

out. " None of which helps with the DP of course.

Well, I started Florinef about 1 week ago and MY GOD, the DP is TOTALLY GONE! In

fact, I actually FLEW to Dallas and drove on the highway for 1 and 1/2 hours BY

MYSELF! I stayed in a hotel by myself. :-) Yes, I had a few moments of anxiety

here and there and some spaciness, which I attribute to the stress of traveling

and how hot it was causing some salt loss, but overall, the trip went off

without a hitch and I'm home without a trace of DP left.

I actually think the Florinef helped the DP. Why? I don't know for sure. Maybe

it's because Florinef helps with being spaced out or dizzy due to electrolyte

imbalances and those sorts of things really aggravate DP. Or maybe it's just

that ANY insufficiency of adrenal hormones leads to anxiety and anxiety = DP. I

truly believe that DP CANNOT exist if there is no anxiety.

Anyway, for anyone suffering from this condition of DP, please hang in there!

And get those dern adrenals fixed. :-)
