Re: Aldosterone and Cortisol

[Guest guest]

I don't know the answer to that, but I do have a symptom of low

aldosterone. I call it a " pee spree " , but I guess technically, it's

sodium wasting or polyuria. It makes me very dehydrated, as I cannot

retain the water I drink. It happens in a symptom cluster of neck

spasms / headache / hypoglycemia / polyuria and lays me low for a day

or two, usually during my monthly hormone shifts.

I'm curious what your low aldosterone symptoms are. I've been trying

to raise my morning cortisol by taking Isocort, but so far (4 days

now, 2 pellets at 7:15 a.m.), it's had no effect on my low morning

energy. But when I take dessicated adrenal (Standard Process), I perk up.

Me too.

How can I test, or what tests do I ask for to my doc?

To convince him to give me Florinef?

Thanks

You would ask for Aldosterone testing to test for low aldosterone which

is what Flroinef replaces.
