Re: - adrenals & raw adrenal supplement

[Guest guest]

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!!!

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 guess i really should get all this adrenal stuff checked. i think my

symptoms are not so much of excess cortisol.

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.

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.
