Sunshine (love the name)

Thank you so much for this hopeful post. It is an overwhelming

task to understand it all. I've grown so frustrated and mistrustful

of doctors - I trust fellow sufferers on the internet now much more

than the docs. Pregnenolone is my wonder supplement at the moment.

But like you, I increased it too fast and had a bad reaction. So,

now I'm doing low dose and may try and increase it over time.

Lee's book was helpful (only $14) and the canary test questionnaire

made me realize that some of my symptoms were actually hormone

related -- never would have made the connection before. For

instance, I seemed to have aged alot in the last couple of years

which is a sign of estrogen dominance. ugh.

How long were you working on adrenals before you started chelation

or were you doing both at the same time?

We've done a lot on our own, plus we've plunked down the money for some tests

that

turned out to be very helpful for us. Besides, I had underestimated how nice it

would feel

to just " KNOW " rather than stumble along " trying this, and trying that " . It's

been a

balancing act.

We've had to go to the MD's office for prescriptions. But, yes, a lot of

detective work here

at home.
