Wow,

Thank you .

I will try again to get those tests from my doctor. In the mean time i

believe the best thing to support my adrenals is licorice and adrenal

If the Thyroid turns out to be a problem, is the only way to support

it with prescription drugs? or are there other supplements i could try?

Thanks again

Charlie
