Re: Very sick- could it be thyroid/adrenal???

[Guest guest]

Hi Crystal!

I'm sorry you've been so sick. I'm not an expert by any means and I

don't know your background...but the first thing I thought of when

reading your symptoms is s.

What have you been previously dx'd with? How long and why have you

been taking HC?

My humble opinion is that you should check this out with a doctor as

soon as possible.

I wish you the best and please keep us posted,

,

Thanks so much for replying. I'd appreciate anyone's advice- as I

think there's more experience here than at the MDs office. I'd like

to go to the doctor with some idea what's wrong with me.

Do you think the throwing up/diarrhea espisodes could be 's?

My mother suggested Hypoglycemea. It doesn't feel like a virus-

more like a digestive, pancreas, or something going on from the

inside. When I said I lost 15 # last week... that's a lot

considering I'm not overweight. Tues from 116.5 to 110.5 pounds.

Then Friday from 114.5 to 111.5 pounds. I gain it back, but loose a

lot when I'm sick.

Background: Been UNdiagnosed since 1990 (birth of 2nd born). Found

a few supplements to help. Then I crashed last summer and someone

directed me to check into hypothyroidism and I found a doctor that

would prescribe Armour. Started it last August. Felt better than I

had in YEARS! Up to 3 grains a day. Tried 3.5 and 4 grains but

that makes my heart pound.

Upon checking, I (not doctor prescribed) decided that I have more

adrenal problems than thyroid. In Oct my saliva test showed .3

(flat line practically) in AM and about 1.3 (extremely low at

midnight). Sorry, don't have the norms in front of me. Since

November, I've been taking up to 20 mg of hydocortisone.... recently

backed down to 15 mg/day.

I have been under major undue stress recently (instead of resting I

decided to go to school 3 nights a week fr 6-10pm). I was doing so

well. If this is 's... does it make sense that I overloaded

my system which causes me to be so sick?

Appreciate ANY insight.....

So glad you're here!

I think you should go get this checked out. It doesn't seem that

much like thyroid and adrenal to me. Adrenal problems can make you

sick and make you throw up, but diarhea doesn't usually go with it.
