According to my last cortisol results (from Feb) I have high levels. I am going

to see my Dr tomorrow and will ask for another saliva cortisol test so that i

can see where I am at. Just wondering if high cortisol could be a cause or if

possibly my cortisol is dropping after my T3 dose? What do you think?

Oh, believe me, I would probably be in an institution if I hadn't had benzos

over the years. I think people should take them if they need them until they get

their adrenals fixed. There is NO POINT in suffering needlessly AND the added

stress of DP/anxiety only makes it worse on the adrenals.

cortisol. For me, it was definitely low cortisol and probably low serotonin as

well from not having enough cortisol for t3 to make serotonin (which t3 is

needed for in the brain among other things.)

Val,

You are right. Sorry, I do not mean to push benzos. I just meant that while in

the process of getting adrenals fixed, sometimes you need some help. I would

probably be hospitalized otherwise, it was THAT bad.

Sorry for posting OT.

Val,

I'm sorry to hear about the addictions. But I'm glad you know where we're coming

from. I thought maybe you were a saint, LOL!!! )

I should have known you've been through/seen it all.

I SO appreciate your help!!!

Val,

I second this emotion...don't know where I'd be without your willingness to

learn and to teach. You've been at this for years so it must be a labor of

love. Honestly, I don't know how you do it but I appreciate it more than you

know.
