There must be some help somewhere

I can't take much more of this adrenal crap, there must be someone, somewhere in this country who deals with adrenals and who can help me. All I can find is overseas

When my son was diagnosed there was quite good care, but I don't know whether they have found out things about Hydrocortisone in the meantime (about 30 years) as about a year ago our Endo told my husband that he thought our son would have more trouble in the future with HC than with Levo. Not at the moment he isn't! Levo is by far the baddie. We really aren't being looked after very good at all in this country now. My adrenal function is very low as is DHEA but Endo does not want to know. I would call this medical neglect along with side effects of current generic Levo.

The a thought, when I had a recent operation (Oophorectomy) the Aneasthetist said that Vitamin C greatly helped Cortisol. I think it might have helped me a bit, but can't afford a Saliva Cortisol test at the moment as only had one in November 2015. Am also taking Thorne Cortex.

Hi Jefner,

Dr Michael Lam has a website and books on everything to do with Adrenals.

May be worth checking out. Anything is worth a try when you feel as you do.

Take care,

J🍀

Real salt in your diet and get your minerals including trace minerals to turn health around. Sounds too simple I know,but try it.
