Guest guest Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 You'll take steroids when prescribed when it's a matter of life or death. I just had a very large pituitary tumor (present for more than 10 years) removed. Prior to the steroids, I had NO cortisol in my body and almost lost my life because they didn't know why. In 2005 I had another tumor and part of my colon removed. I just now read the pathology report: no other pathogens, but CLADOSPORIUM! I hope this is the end of it.

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 My natural dr has me make a jacked up chicken broth - take an organic whole chicken and put it in a pot with filtered water, 1 organic onion and an organic carrot - put the lid on and cook for 12 hours WITH the lid on. It makes the most intense broth and it helps you're adrenals. Drink as much as you can (with or without the chicken meat in it) each day. Hope that helps. > > Since we cant take steroids and therfore ace and hc are out there must be something can be done for adrenals. Just wonderin what others are doing?

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Can you please explain how the steroids affected your cortisol levels?? Seperate : Every case study I have read thus far with my condition was given steroids, every single one of those cases the patient died shortly after the treatment started.

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Here is what I have tried. - Chinese herbs - licorice, siberian ginseng, corticeps, ginger root, etc. it's best to take raw herbs and to cook them yourself. the problem is finding a brand that doesn't have pesticides. mayway carries a line of preservative free herbs, but you need to be a practitioner to order. - apex energetics - adrenastim cream. may be an issue if you have sensitive skin. - reducing stress - light exercise - sufficient rest > > Since we cant take steroids and therfore ace and hc are out there must be something can be done for adrenals.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Sounds delicious, but I do not understand how chicken would do anything for your adrenals.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 I think we need to remember that not everyone is exposed in the same WDB and just like some may tolerate some things with VOC's while other cant, some may tolerate steroids while others cant. your exposure does has everything to do with your condition now. it's just not the same for everyone. just like many didn't become allergic, so they say it has nothing to do with this, that's wrong and I know it's wrong because I lived with it. lets not be makeing such matter of fact statements about what one can tollerate and what one cant, what one should use for treatment and one shouldn't. we need to quit try to put everyone in the same box.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Adrenal cortex extract and hydrocortisone, both contain steroids and are therefore contraindicated. ________________________ On 2011-03-01 05:49:22 +1100 sue <svican@...> wrote: > > what are ace and hc please? thanks, sue v. > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 ACES that I know is Vit A,C, E, Selenium and you can get ACES +Z which is zinc, all of which I regularly take in one capsule.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 I should have mentioned that the bones/marrow/organs essentially disintegrate into the broth - so you're getting a ton of vitamins and other essential nutrients that impact the adrenals.... > > > > > > Since we cant take steroids and therfore ace and hc are out there must be something can be done for adrenals.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 It it too bad that we are attacking each other about health care when the real problem is that we don't get any health care form octors if we have them. Even with insurance, I have to pay for nearly everything myself. If it isn't in the AMA book it doesn't exist. I ws told that by a allergist, as he patt4ed the big red book. Can't find it here, you are not sick. So instead of attacking each other over often misinterpreted, misunderstood, comments how about attacking the system that makes us feel this way? And that is wherer Dr. Thrasher's point comes in about the government. Open our eyes and stand up to the enemy, encourage our allies.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 yes, it really doesn't matter what ins. you have theres doctors out there that just refuse to deal with you or have anything to do with you. and it's not all do to ignorance. I was set up with a fallow up visit to a doctor after I went to the hospital,with a severely swollen blocked tear duct. I was told right there that he was takeing new patients, than I go see him and he refuses to aknowledge that I was dealing with a blocked tear duct like the hospital report said, right after I explained to him the eye problems I've had sence being exposed in a home with water damage. he told me it was a stye and told me he wasn't takeing any new patients. he was outright rude. the felling was mutual that we go our seperate ways. I've tried many things to get a doctors care, talking about my exposure, not talking about it, which is basicly imposable to not at some point. I figure now that neither one of us needs to waist the others time, I'm upfront about what happened to me and they are usually upfront in one way or another about weither they want to deal with me or not. and truely I wouldn't want a doctor that doesn't get it. I wouldn't want just any doctor to prescribe me antifungals or anything else that isnt up on this, they could do more harm than good. my learning to practice advoidance has been my lifesaver. my listening to my body has been my lifesaver. and even some doctors that didn't reconize my illness for what it was but gave me pain killers to deal with my migraines have been lifesavers. > > > > REALLY, medical help is available for everyone HA HA HA what a freaking joke to > > me that is I have HAD MEDICAID for 2 YEARS and no MEDICAL HELP! > > > > God Bless !! > > dragonflymcs > > Mayleen > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Thank you Meredith, I have basically faced the same as you have. Very true that one Dr who is not up to date on this illness can cause more harm than good. I wan no such a Dr. All the ones I have seen have been like you said totally rude and ignorant about it all. to the point of almost having killed me. My story much like yours. I also agree that we are here to help each other.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Exactly, I have written and written and called about this issue of no medical care. I have also learned that we are not alone, many in this country even with recognized diseases are going with out care. This is a big problem for all of us. Us just worse because we cannot even be understood, listened to, accepted due to the deceit. I don't know how anyone here can blindly believe that we are all getting any kind of care.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Often in a situation where we find ourselves in a medical crisis, we need to do whatever it takes to keep us alive. Sometimes that means taking drugs that have severe side effects. Once the medical crisis has been managed, then you can deal with the side effect and try to get off the drugs as quickly as possible. If you're in adrenal crisis, as far as doctors are concerned you either take HC or die. As for the side effects of HC is an unfortunate reality and a risk that you are faced with when you decide to take the drug. I have seen some patients do very well with HC and others who couldn't tolerate it at all. Some people took HC for about 2 years with no side effect and others took it for a few days and it made them sicker. I don't know the reason why one drug is a life-saver for one person, but a poison for another. As for the issue regarding getting good medical care for those of us who have been exposed to mold is a huge problem. Even if you have the best insurance that money can buy, you're still going to be limited with your choices, because most doctors know NOTHING about mold. If you are lucky enough to have a good environmental doctor or any doctor who understands you and doesn't think you're crazy, consider yourself really lucky. For everyone else who is struggling to get the right medical attention, my sympathy is with you. However, the fact that you know the cause of your condition and that you are part of this group is a saving grace. I think that there are millions of very sick people that are struggling with mold related problems, who have no idea why they are ill. > > no evidently I am able to tolerate them on a short term > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 I started on the antifungal nasal spray and altough probably because it still wasn't compounded right I had severe migraines,and couldn't hang in there, but even the short amount of use I did get helped the polops in my sinuses, now I just have to get it compounded somewhere else and try again. if I'm than sure it's made right if I cant tolerate it still, I'll know that it's either dieoff or some type of reaction to the treatment itself. I'll also find out if I can tolerate it at any level. I'm hopeing it just wasn't compounded right, which pisses me off because I went through alot just to find somewhere that would compound it and when over the instructions with them and sent them a copy. > > > > no evidently I am able to tolerate them on a short term > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Thank you Momoko, What I was pointing out or trying to point out was the side effects in reference to a person who has been exposed to a WDB as opposed to a person outside of here. I only was trying to mention what Dr T had said here. Many many have no care here. You are so correct about that. Many many others do not know even what has made them ill. If you have care you should be consulting someone who knows about this CIRS-WDB in addition to your other consultants who are clueless to avert further damage to your system. The patients you saw that improved were they also suffering from CIRS ??

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 I can think of 3 people who I recently saw who had mold exposure and cortisol insufficiency. None were tested for CIRS. One patient responded well to HC, the 2nd did not respond well and it took her months to wean herself off HC because each time she tried to lower the dose of HC she would go into withdrawal. The 3rd did not take HC but treated symptoms alternatively and recovered the most quickly, although I think she also had the mildest exposure to mold. Sorry, I can't offer you more information. > > Thank you Momoko, > > What I was pointing out or trying to point out was the side effects in reference > to a person who has been exposed to a WDB as opposed to a person outside of > here.
