If I remember rightly you also have high progesterone levels, is that

right? I read something recently about high progesterone and sodium

going hand in hand. High progesterone levels can cause insulin

resistance, which makes weight loss difficult, and in some people also

increases the production of aldosterone, which encourages sodium

retention and swelling, especially in the stomach area. Does this ring

true for you?

I know that my sodium levels have been creeping up since I became ill 2

years ago. The reason behind my high progesterone levels is mercury

leaking from my fillings, which inhibits the activity of 21a

hydroxylase (an adrenal enzyme) which lowers cortisol and raises

progesterone levels. So mercury is behind my high progesterone, low

cortisol, high sodium, and insulin resistance in the second half of my

cycle. The bits of the jigsaw are falling into place. I have now had

my mercury fillings removed, and hope (big fingers crossed) that my

hormones and cortisol will balance themselves out again.

Hmmmmmmmmmm Nicola, this is extremely interesting. Too brain-dead to attempt

a response now buy will do asap.

thanks Nicola. thinking outside the box!
