Default adrenal + thyroid problems...

Surprisingly, I think the 4-month treatment might have been just about right for me. I've had no ill effects after stopping.

An excellent book on the subject is William McK. Jeffries "Safe Uses of Cortisol."


That is interesting!!!

When I come back from vacation in September and when the kids and my DH are back at school, I am going to check out a doctor I found who does "hormone analysis".

I am getting confused - again!!! - about all this thyroid/adrenal business. One set of people say, "Get your adrenals fixed before you embark on thyroid treatment!" and now I have heard from "neanderpam" that what I think might be adrenal fatigue is in fact caused by my thyroid tanking my adrenals.

AAARRRGGGHHH!!!

I feel overwhelmed by all this today.
