Re: OT: Rhodiola (was Hyperreaction to cold air)

[Guest guest]

Hi Susie,

I am taking 500mg of Rhodiola 3x a day, with a 2-day break every month, when I

do have a little less energy. It must not agree with you! I hope the Adrenal

support helps you. This is another example of how different things work better

for different people.

(headaches, post-nasal drip, fatigue)when you are in an air-conditioning draft

or even outside on a nice day, but with a cool breeze blowing. My situation is

so bad that I have to wear a hat even at 60 or 62 degrees, and I still get an

increase in symptoms. In the winter, I need to wear a hat & a hooded jacket but

I still have worsening symptoms still. It is one of my most severe problems

because it limits me to the point that I have become more home-bound because I

don't want to become sicker than I already am. We've had to stop going out to

eat because no matter where I sit, I am in a draft & I become so stressed out

because I know I am going to have big problems in the next few days. I know I

have low thyroid (Hashimoto's) but other people do too & don't have the severe

reactions that I do. Unfortunately, I have been on all thyroid meds there are &

none helped me, only made me feel worse, so my doctor said not to take anything.

My TSH is usually around 3 or 4 (it's supposed to be around 1 or so). I've had

tons of cortisol saliva tests & mostly came back ok except for elevated night

time saliva. I feel that my adrenals must be shot but don't know what else to

try for them either. The glandulars make me nervous. Rhodiola helped me at one

time, but then it stopped giving me energy. I don't know if it is a lyme thing

or what. I just wanted to know if there is anybody else that is having these

problems & how you are dealing with them. Thanks for any thoughts.

Khaya,

I backed down to only 3 drops of the adrenal support & it doesn't bother me. It

probably isn't doing anything either, but I don't like feeling more nervous than

I already am. Thanks.

Susie,

Is your adrenal support a homeopathic? Sometimes a few drops is all it takes!

Better to start small and build up gradually, than to start with a high dose and

have a bad reaction.

Hi Jan S,

Extra Virgin Organic Coconut Oil should warm you up!! This is known to have a

good warming effect...

This could also be from hypothyroidism of which many of us Lymies are ...

Take care,
