Re: New and a lot of questions

[Guest guest]

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I know I have a lot of problems. ;-)

- You're right about the HPA thing, my specialist states that ME patients suffer

from a disturbed HPA-axis.

- What do you mean, it needs treatment but no cortisol?

- For my esophagus I'm taking omeprazole allright. I don't know about my stomach

acid, but I do know there's a valve somewhere that doesn't close as it should,

thus causing reflux and inflammation of the esophagus. Does the Betaine HCL

you're talking about work for this too?

-I'm working on my iron!

- You're right about the HPA thing, my specialist states that ME patients suffer

- What do you mean, it needs treatment but no cortisol? Yes cortiosl but ENOUGH

of it. 10mg is only enough to shut down your ACTH not replace what it si

shutting down. You cannto add to what you already make as ther eis a feedback

loop that si hyper reactive when you are low in cortisol.

- For my esophagus I'm taking omeprazole allright. I don't know about my stomach

acid, but I do know there's a valve somewhere that doesn't close as it should,

Usually this is assumed not fact. Most reflux in hypo/adremnal people is caused

by poor digestion from LOW stomach acid. Betaine HCL is basically stomach acid

thich aids digestion and there fore stops the reflux.
