FREAKING OUT

Please help me - I'm freaking out.

I have Hashi's and pretty severe adrenal exhaustion:

My Saliva Test Results:

Cortisol:

Morning 13 (13-24)

Noon 1 (5-10)

Afternoon <1 (3-8)

Midnight 7 (1-4)

Cortisol burden = 22

DHEA = 3

I'm s'posed to start HC this week, and now I'm freaking

out about it!

I've always treated everything herbally and now I feel

like I'm about to embark upon a really heavy duty

RX treatment!

All this was compounded by reading this this morning:

GETTING OFF STEROIDS

http://fourfoldhealing.com/2007/11/08/getting-off-steroids/>

" The side effects of cortisone, prednisone, and similar drugs are

legendary. They include diabetes, osteoporosis, edema of the face, mood

swings, stomach ulcers and, very importantly, adrenal suppression. In

other words, your own adrenal glands shut off their production of these

valuable hormones. Why not, since they essentially have been

" told " by the prednisone that the adrenals are no longer needed.

This bargain, then, becomes a nightmare as the effectiveness of the

drugs wears off, side effects become more serious and the patient is

unable to stop taking the medication.Of all the tragic situations I have

dealt with in my practice, this all-too-common occurrence stands at the

top of the list. "

I guess I'm looking for someone to talk me down!

Are Cortef and Medrol different than Prednisone?

Do those of you on them regret it?

I am really wanting to start Armour, and I guess I need to support

adrenals w. HC first????

Are my adrenals too tired to use herbs or glandulars?

Is HC going to put my adrenals asleep forever and cause all those side

effects???

:o
