Hi Helen,

I'm really sorry to hear about the rough time you're having. How do

you know it's the adrenal cortex causing the problem though? Did it

stop when you went off it?

I know doctors are generally a waste of time, but do you see any

medical professional for your health issues? Someone in the

natural/alternative medicine arena? I finally found someone useful who

came highly recommended, and it has helped a lot just having monthly

appointments, having someone to keep me on track with trying to heal,

and to talk to about the frustrations along the way. If a supplement

doesn't work for me, he always has an alternative, so it lessens the

time spent feeling upset about this uphill battle. It's so easy to

feel lost on your own... but if you aren't working it may be difficult

to see anyone other than GP's. I wonder if there will ever be a day

where naturopaths and herbalists will be covered by medicare!

After only 6 months I had to quit university just recently after

trying to juggle studying part time with working full time sent my

health crashing down. Now I must dig myself out of the damage

over-stressing my body did. I know you can't work full time, but would

it be possible for you to put your studies on hold and find some

casual work, or maybe work that you can do from home, where you can

decide your own hours and work when you're feeling at your best? To

have money to spend on getting to the bottom of your health issues

would help a lot - but yes, easier said than done.

I really hope things get better for you soon. And this may sound

weird, but try to enjoy the cry, you often feel so much better after

you release those emotions with tears!

Take care,

ita

which means I cant work to support myself and my family, and I can

barely pass my subjects at college, I discovered (after tests) that

I had exhausted adrenals. I learnt that one could potentially get

better/cured by taking bovine adrenal cortex. I ordered some from

overseas. It was great. I almost felt normal. My life

changed. Despite significant problems that I had when I suddenly

stopped taking it (when I had run out - some horrible sort of

withdrawal effect), I ordered more nonetheless - I thought I just had

to make sure I didnt run out. It was my dream come true. I could

function almost normally. I felt well. I felt normal. The only other

thing that made me feel well was dexamphetamine (legally prescribed)

and I learnt that this was not a good thing to take for a number of

reasons. Among other things, it gave me horrible gastritis with

bloody mucus in my feces.

emerging symptoms of gastritis started to occur over time. I worked

out its the cortex. I cant take the cotex anymore and I'm

devastated. In addition I learnt that coming off the stuff is a

nightmare for me. I think it must be some sort of autoimmune thing.

I know I will be on activated charcoal every 4 hours for a week

while  I go through this whole toxic experience again coming off it.

I can live with that - but I'm devastated that I'm going to be

exhausted again without real hope of recovery. Sorry to pester you

guys like ths. I cant stop crying.
