Guest guest Posted April 13, 2004 Report Share Posted April 13, 2004 hi , that's great that your ears are better now!!! just wanted to let you know I left a copy of the ingredient list and article about digestive enzymes with my doc. I also left him info about MSM and another supplement my husband is interested in taking for his allergies. I justed left a note asking him to look that stuff over and let me know what he thinks. I don't want to take something that could interfere with my medications or take something which might not be good for me. hopefully he'll give me the A-OK. have a great day! Wish me luck on my algebra test today!!! {{hugs}} sheila susan hodgson <suser@...> wrote: Hi - Wow, nice to hear from you! That's wonderful that you found a new dr. and he tested adrenal function. I too think my adrenals are not in the best shape.....I decided to start taking raw adrenal from the health food store - & I wonder if it's in my mind or the fact that I lost my job and am at home and working at my own pace with low stress...but I feel better after only one week on the raw adrenal.....one of the immediate things that started to happen was my ears were crackling....like they were draining.... & I haven't had a cold in like 2 months! But - I have been bothered for YEARS with hearing fluid in my ears - had been to my primary care dr. an ENT specialist that said it was a deviated septum, did surgery, etc.... I would like to get proper testing done - but have heard that adrenal testing is not always reliable so that 's why I decided to take it on my own. I've also added digestive enzymes, and Pro-Dophilus for intestinal health. I did what I said I didn't want to do - I added more than one thing at once so I'm not really sure which thing is truly helping me the most, but I so wanted to feel better - and I do! I think I'm estrogen dominant as well - due to how I feel at certain times of the month. I will be checking into adding progesterone cream. Are you taking thyroid hormone as well? Hope you continue to feel better & it's nice that you have real hope!!!!!! - keep in touch! This list is great at inspiring people to help themselves!!!! Re: your adrenals are overworked I have not posted anything in a while, but... Based on some things people here were saying, I looked for a new doctor that would check adrenals. I recently had a complete hormone profile done. My adrenals were low...not out of lab range, but at the very bottom of the lab ranges. The doctor was glad to see this, since I still have some adrenal function, but I did go on some adrenal support and next appointment I will probably start on DHEA. I also turned out to be estrogen dominant...I had tons of estrogen in the tests, and very little progesterone. So, I'm taking that, now, too. It has only been a few weeks, but I am feeling a LOT better. My thyroid levels turned out to be okay, but the adrenals were very low, and I was having a lot of thyroid symptoms. To my mind, it is worth checking adrenals, especially if you have had a thyroid problem for a while. I am also exploring some inflammation stuff, and treating that seems to be helping a lot as well. If anyone is interested I can share more about that. I actually have some hope of getting well, now.

I can't copy and paste this, but here's a link. I took this test and my profile would be closer to adrenal insufficiency as opposed to excess cortisol. http://www.hormoneprofile.com/adrenal.htm happy Easter! sheila tina83862 <tina83862@...> wrote: Sometimes I just feel like I'm gonna burst inside if I don't move around. I'm seeing my counselor at the campus, and we don't sit down and talk...we go walking, and that helps me think!!! It really does! I feel like I can remember things better and learn better if I'm moving around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2004 Report Share Posted April 13, 2004 I would be very surprised if the doc knew about digestive enzymes and MSM. Naturopaths would be the ones to ask. Your own body makes digestive enzymes so I don't think they would be contraindicated. Maybe you just need to ask for permission.
