I had my saliva tests results come back from the FFF site, and Canary club testing.

They did DHEA, testoseron, estridol and cortisol x 4

MY results — WHAT do I need to do to HELP my cortisol elevation?

Thanks to anyone who knows anything about this.

I am thinking you need to take these results to an internist or

endo, something obviously is not right..and I would be getting

testing done on other pituary hormone levels such as growth factor,

estrogen etc...

Your DHEA is low..but I do not know if it is in relation to the

other tests or not.. it could be low casue your cortisol and

Testosterone are high or they could be high because DHEA is low or

they could have no effect on each other.

for low levels. The last thing I wanted was to take cortisol because they say too much causes that nasty "belly fat". My levels were low. My sodium was low. My protein was low. My iron was high. My homosytiene was 9.0. What does anyone suppose here? Am I just one of those freaks of nature? I was already sure I was. I am one of those people that weird stuff happens according to what time of the month it is. Street lights go off or on when I walk under them, electronic stuff sometimes goes off or on. My cars in the past will just quit and nobody can find any problems. I can wear watches. They stop within an hour of putting them on. I am quite like a "Betazoid" when it comes to sensing emotions (negative or positive) of others. Does anyone else have these same weird things happening to the point where it can't be coincidental? I am so affected by negativity. The first time I saw the movie "Titanic", I went to bed for 3 days. I feel too damn much of everything.

My youngest daughter is also an empath (I am but to a much lesser degree) and it is something that she finds quite disturbing to have to live with since she works in mental health caring for adults who are in group homes. She is constantly having to decide if the feelings are hers or theirs.

-- Re: ADRENALS out of whack...help anyone? Topper?

amber,

you are what is called an empath.. you should read up on it. many of us are and have strange things happen all the time. you are not alone in this. for some of us, our bodies are just wired differently and process things differently. our bodies are made up of energy and our souls are as well... when there is a lot of that energy that can become focused, you have the street lights go off, car alarms go off, etc.

you can also have a scary ability to control what people say or think... but that's another show.

you can learn over time how to shield yourself from certain things and how to use these things to your advantage (picking up police radar, developing your intuition, using these gut feelings to pick your friends, etc.)

medical science doesn't always have a complete grasp of how our bodies work and they also can explain more than you think if you're willing to look for the answers...

hope that helps,

andrea

AT LAST

I am male 44yrs old,probably 14 years HyperT(Graves),subtotal

thyroidectomy 10 yrs ago,now badly HypoT and adrenal fatigued but

starting on HC and Armour after giving up thyroxine 5 years ago.

I have been putting the odd little post for a while on this subject

and had very little response.I dont really know how empathic I am,or

even how to describe what it is,but i've definately got something

going on.It's like i've developed a mental laser or something that

cuts right through BS.I dont know exactly what thoughts people have

but I seem to see situations unfolding.It's not about words.You just

seem to feel around it.

Also if I am feeling bad,I seem to somehow cast it around me,which

of course does not endear me to people.The whole thing is something of

a problem for me as I am not able to do anything positive with it.It's

like I've got a massive amount of energy around me that people somehow

notice on a non verbal level and mostly are more fearful than

intrigued.

I dont want to give the impression of being some awful man.You

should see me with puppies and kittens and stuff.Honest!

AS well as this I have develpoed a really acute sense of smell in

recent years and perceive tastes as graphs with peaks and troughs.

Does anyone know what the hell i'm going on about here????????

Hi Lynn

Thank you for your kind reply.The thing is,the problem is pretty

much the opposite.Other people are more likely to be absorbing my

crazy energy than the other way around!!!!It is my experience that

people call others crazy when they are confused or disturbed by

their energy.
