Do you think Chronic Fatigue Syndrome exists?
I'm interested to hear peoples views on CFS, and whether you think it exists - or whether you think it's a name given to a collection of issues not 'picked up' by our doctors (such as adrenal fatigue, hormone imbalances, thyroid problems, insulin resistance/pre diabetes and so on) I have actually been

What is the adrenal extract in Nutri Adrenal Extra?
Does anybody know if it contains adrenaline, or is this cortex extract? I'm considering using this instead of taking all the individual supplements, along with my adrenal cortex extract, but don't want to buy it if it contains adrenaline!

If you are using Nutri Adrenal Extra, or adrenal cortex extract - when do you take it?
I have been taking mine an hour after taking my NDT, but wondering if they could be taken together??

Adrenal stress test. How long should I stop taking adrenal cortex extract?
In light of my latest thyroid panel, I need to check my adrenals again. I have been taking adrenal cortex extract for a few months, so I'm not entirely sure how long I have to stop taking this for, before doing the saliva test? Somebody kindly pointed out that I have to be off it for two weeks beforehand

Confused with test results - advice please!
I had my bloods done on Monday, and have just phoned for the results but I'm confused. Firstly, I am taking 2.5 grains of NDT (was taking 2 at the time of the blood test, and left 26 hours before having blood drawn). Before this blood test, my TSH was 2.8 back in May - the receptionist said it was 'quite

Starting on Cortef
He has told me to trial
cortef
starting 5mcg moving to 20mcg a day. I hope this will finally be the magic pill! I'm also going to start paleo diet in 2 weeks I want to give
cortef
time so if I get any results I know the cause. I will also be taking anti fungals as my candida is very high.

My body is refusing to play ball and I’m struggling to keep on top of everything.
Do I try cream again or
cortef
or CT3? Has anyone been in a similar position? Do I try the NA again? My body just seems to refuse things at the moment although I feel it’s crying out for something………probably T3.

I've just weaned off cortef. How long should I leave it until my Gp does the cortisol blood test. how long does cortef stay in the blood ?
long does it take for
cortef
to come out of the blood and tissues and therefore not 'skew' the test..which i do realise is not reliable anyway but I have to go with his long winded system to get to where I need to be with him..I would really appreciate it if anyone knows how long
