Hi Liz

I don’t want to use any cortisone products until I know what I have. I have high cortisol levels most of the day and supposedly normal ones in the AM but that’s when my b/p is the highest. I seriously doubt the saliva tests I did last month were accurate as I was only off the WP for 9 days when I did the test. it showed incredibly high P/E levels. DHEAS and Testosterone were within range but on serum blood tests they were high, so I don’t get it at all. Serum and saliva seem not to jive.

I am NOT on any hormones now, nothing. When I saw what my levels were, I freaked out and didn’t want to add fuel to the fire.

The osteopath recommended using some Estradiol and a tiny amount of P but told her I was scared to use it anymore and feel that any P at this time would just increase the cortisol even more as excessive amounts can make cortisol. I think I had a paradoxical reaction to the WP and the extremely high doses.

would you be interested in suing them? I spoke with my daughter, an attorney in CA and her firm is a personal injury law firm. she told me to write up a paragraph of what happened and to send it to her.

It never ends, does it....first benzos and then a horrific w/d and then menopause and hormones via the WP and now this. I feel like I am dying literally. Scared and nervous and that can’t be good for what is happening now.

how are you doing?

Write me anytime, off list or on.

Good to hear from you,

Thanks

Fondly,
