Guest guest Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 I have been suffering for nearly two years with Adrenal Exhaustion, anxiety and a few panic attacks. I'm on Armour Thyroid and bio-identical hormones, too. I have a small goiter with cysts, which have barely grown in two years, according to the recent ultrasound. I'm looking so forward to March when I first see a hopefully, good doctor that not only uses Armour Thyroid but does saliva testing!! and, I've heard, understands Adrenal Exhaustion. In the meantime, I went to a licensed nutritionalist (which has a lot of medical school training) and does muscle testing too for what supplements your body needs. I believe she is on to something interesting that no other doctor mentioned..... She said it may be my hypothalimus-pituitary axis that is damaged or unbalanced and to take phosphitidal serine (PS). I put the cream on the third eye (middle of forehead where it gets absorbed and can even avert a possible panic attack. Also, I've been taking two capsules with breakfast. Here's the interesting part: My husband and I just came back from watching our 5 month old teething grandson that I had to feed every 2-3 hours around the clock. We also watched his three year old brother that, though loving, shall we say, is THE MOST defiant, trying, manipulative child, ever!!! You can not imagine the physical and emotional turmoil we were in for 8 days! Before we left I thought I'd end up in bed the whole time taking care of the baby, come home and die. WELL------- as soon as I started watching the kids I went into what my husband called, " Mommy Mode. " I went like the Eveready Bunny the whole time, mostly full of energy, just doing what had to be done. Before we left I could only function for four or five hours in the morning. The rest of the time I was 'couch sitting.' I've been home for six days and now I'm starting to tire, but not like before we left. The day after we came home I went to my nutritionalist and she said though I still need my hormones and thyroid balanced and have Adrenal Fatigue, because of when I focus, I'm so much better she thought part of my problem might be my hypothalimus-pituitary axis. The first time I saw her I told her the only time I felt good (emotionally and physically) was when I played darts for a few minutes with my husband. Before I did, I could barely move because I was so physically wiped out, not from doing anything physical. After a minute or two of playing darts (which I'm not particularly fond of) I felt soooooo much better. This is what made her think there MAY be a need for PS. After the grandchildren experience, she really believes my hypothalimus-pituitary axis is the greater problem. Possibly from a past sinus infection or candida got up there. I'm still taking my PS, orally and topically and taking Lion's Mane, Nerve Factors. I'm also now taking Caprilic Acid gelcaps and Oregamax to knock out the candida/fungus. She also wants me to focus on a flame a few times a day and do to cross-stitch or some other type of needlework. Ha, and to keep playing darts. It is just amazing the world of difference since I went to watch my grandchildren. Before I didn't ever think I would heal my AF, since it was not improving and so, mentally, I was worsening. Now, I'm so much better. Still in need of balancing my other physical problems, hopefully, with a knowledgeable doctor next month. But, in the meantime, and since I haven't seen this topic discussed in the group, I wanted to share this important news with all of you. I hope this helps someone.
