RE: OK NOW what do I next? aspirin?

If you are just waiting for the Adrenal tests to come back and you have a

doctor willing to do all of this then I would wait. You sound like you have

found a doc with a brain so, I would wait and if needed take the Cortef.

Hope this helps!

I used to do 20 minutes of exercise every morning -- getting my a** out of bed.

Be careful with licorice root. It sent my BP through the roof. Well, 150 over

something, higher than I've ever been. You might just want to check it every so

often.

Now that you've done the spit test, you get to the fun part. Waiting..... 3

long weeks while you wonder if it will show anything, and if it does will the

doctor treat it right, and are you going to wrap your car around a bridge

abutment in the morning because you can't sleep all night. The Cortef is what

finally fixed me, but others have had bad reactions to Cortef and liked either

OTC glandulars, or the more synthetic steroids. You'll probably have to try

things to see what works, but the doc that recommended Cortef is not off base.

It seems to me, having observed many stories like this in this group, that maybe

Armour is harder on adrenals than either T4 or T3 alone (probably because it

actually works). I was on Cytomel for months, and although I wasn't much

better, my adrenals were just fine. I started Armour and turned into the

Amazing Human Paint Shaker. Just a theory...

Ok I've been to afraid to deal with this all week. Here goes. I had my first

set of tests almost two months ago and Langer did the SNAFU by not ordering the

Free T3 or several other important tests. For Valentine's Day I went to Dr Toth,

Jr in Concord and what a guy! After the 2 1/2 hr intake his nurse, Marcy gave me

an adrenal 4x kit to take home. Big crash after all the excitement and not

taking my beginning 2days of my baby dose of Armour for a few days (on top of

blindly taking bovine otc glandular for about 10 days I think.)

The reason I had backed down is the pretty drastic angina, shakes, muscle

spasms, body temp going wild with hot patches on a cadaver-frozen body. The

brain fog-- I finally with everyone's help got the next labs figured out. Doc

thought I'd go to Kaiser but to tell you the truth, I can't make myself go

because part of me is very afraid that I'm too fragile to deal with bad AMA

stuff. So I''ve been taking the licorice, even though I'm a myxedema/etrogen

dominant gal with now 3 autoimmune diseases and some of the scariest high blood

pressure headaches I can remember.

Ok I did the 4xspit test Mon, the rest of the lab yesterday and now all I want

is to get back my life. Is it better if I keep with the licorice? wait until I

see the Doc again when the lab results come back?--and he said Cortef. Or shall

I order some adrenal support now? or start with a tiny amt of Armour? The

progesterone cream?

I'm in serious adrenal exhaustion a besides the headache the brain fog is bad I

feel like I'm either hanging upside-down or squished by too much

gravity...there. that's what I've been trying to figure out for days. Oh the

reason I didn't take anything was for the tests because I thought that since I'd

only had a near random amount for less than two weeks it would clear and give an

accurate baseline for all right tests. once I get this going, I am never going

off supports again. for any body. Thanks for reading this. I tried real hard to

make sense as I typed because I can't read very well this week. I think I'm in

rocky shape. --oh, yeah maybe I forgot about the heart pounding and the muscle

spasms and the sound of water running in my ears and feeling really crappy.

Have a nice day, huh? LOL. Oh, yeah, Langer told me I needed to exercise and

take his vitamins....

gonna wait until I hear back from all y'all...
