Re: adrenal stress and insomnia

[Guest guest]

Sorry and I also found out more by saliva test by Genova Labs, four

samples are required, not cheap, tells you Cortisol, testosterone,

melantonin and DHEA levels. If you're going for a blood test you want

the TH 1234. Not just 1 and 2 which are almost the default if you

don't know better. Only found the latter out from another member on the

list.

And its a bit like yeast in the medical profession - thyroid complaints

and over/underactivity are a bit " pooh-poohed " so get your gloves on if

you're going through mainstream (like everything else)

Hi All

I was feeling a bit wiped out a few months ago and did these Genova

tests for Adrenal function, melatonin, DHEA, cortisol (I did the

Hormone panel too. My sleep had been pretty rubbish at the time and

fatigue was just terrible. I found when I woke up that it took me

nearly til late afternoon to come round then I was tired again early

evening. My adrenals were stressed, hormones flat, melatonin profile

all over the place.

I too started the Dr s Adrenal Dynamite and am loving it. I

feel heaps better, sleep great and although I havent retested I

should imagine things are a bit better. I no longer feel that

crashing tiredness. I am sure most of us and our kids are the same.

The tests I did were saliva samples. The adrenal ones alone you do

over one 24 hour period. I know wouldnt be amenable to that

but maybe your child would be better. Its a small tube you have to

fill with saliva so not just one little bit (sorry bit revolting

subject for breakfast).

Sara,

Do you have DDI essential element hair test results? Those can show

adrenal fatigue.

If you don't though, IMO, adrenal fatigue is one of those things you

can tell by symptoms and treat without testing. Treatment is very

safe. I use adrenal cortex glandular by Nutricology. DS takes 625

mgs a day still as maintenance. Also, I used B vitamins and Vitamin

C 4 times a day. Even more often would be better, especially at the

beginning. I also use chromium to help regulate blood sugar. Also,

realizing that quite a bit of magnesium has been necessary. Also,

for my one son, lots of B2 but not figured out why.

If you search this list, you can find more comprehensive posts about

this.

IMO, adrenal fatigue is pretty close to a given in metal toxic,

stressed out kids AND their parents :-( Treating for it can make a

huge difference. It has here.
