I am not sure if you are on cold/flu medicine, but they do seem to raise people’s blood pressure, maybe that is it.   [End]

Hello, I have had this test... Although my first coritisol level were flagged as low, since my cortisol levels did rise slightly with the 2nd and 3rd shot, they had stated that I had no adrenal insuffieciency. I think the test is good to rule out Addisons Disease, but other then that it is not very helpful. Good Luck   [End]

You have to love modern medicine. Google chelation, and find a doctor in your area (most likely a alternative doctor) that can assist you in this. Sorry you are having such a hard time!   [End]

I was diagnosed with a large about of mercry in my system. I did dmps through IV, and I also did this during the removal of my amalgams. Although I was extremely tired I didn’t have too many side effects. I have been going through weekly treatments since Feb and the mercury is almost all gone.   [End]

You need to chelate your body to get the mercury removed.   [End]

I feel the same way. I dont’ even want to think about food in the morning, but around 2pm I start gettng hungry. I would try to stay away from Tuna, just in case you have mercury poisioning.   [End]

Yes, I have neck and upper back pain. If I stand to long or sit the same spot for too long I develope a burning sensation in my upper back between my shoulder blades. I went to physical therapy and they put me on some good stretching and strengthening exercises. They also did hot moist packs, Soft Tissue mobilization, myofascial stretch, electrical stimulation, and some traction. It is important to keep these muscles stretched and mobile. Sincerely, Winvi   [End]

I have been struggling with Chronic Fatigue for over a year now. My friends are supportive, but they do not understand. Does anyone know of support groups in the NJ/Philadelphia area?   [End]

Hi There, YOU ARE NOT ALONE. I have been sick for over a year, and had to leave my job because of my illness. I had to send an appeal to disability because they declined me the first time. I am struggling with money and am very thankful for the friends and family I have who are helping me anyway they can. Disability keeps sending me letters saying they need 30 more days to review. So honestly I haven’t made one cent since Nov 2007. I am living off of credit cards, and I am not thinking about it right now. My main concern is getting my health back. I look at the positives and rea ...

I hope that this reply will help you because I had such a problem for 1-year after I had my gallbladder out. When they take your gallbladder out sometimes there is too much bile floating around in your stomach so it flushes your food right out of your body. I take a pill called Colestid 1GM. What is does is it binds the access bile so your food has a chance to digest and get absorbed. I hope this is the answer for you too because I know how you feel. I wasn’t able to really eat out or anything because as soon as I ate, my food would go right through me. It took a couple of months t ...

Yes I have been on a lot of courses of antibiotics. My symptoms have started after a treatment of a Z-pac for a sinus infection. I have had the flu vaccine in November I have a ton of amalgams in my mouth. -------------------------------- Since my posts, I have gone to an alternative medical doctor and found out that I have mercury poisoning that is very severe. I also have candida, and no good bacteria in my stomach. My treatment is suppliments (L-Glutamine, Vitamin C, B-5, Maganisium, and Vit E. I am also getting Myers Cocktails (which is IV vitamins)...I recommend Myers Co ...

I understand exactly what you are saying. I can go to bed at 8pm or 2am, it makes no difference to me. If I wake up before 9am sometimes 10am, I am shaky, nauseous and extremely weak. If I wake up before 9am a couple of days in a row I end up throwing up bile. Is there anything to help with this? I did a adrenal saliva test and my night time cortisol was slightly low but everything else was ok (to my surprise). Low late-night cortisol levels suggest a degree of adrenal fatigue with regard to baseline ciradian activity. I am not sure what that means and what I should do? It sounds ...

I feel like they should call this problem perminent morning sickness or vampires disease. If I do too much the day before I end up vomitting bile in the morning, but then feel fine after 7pm. Have you found anything to help you?   [End]

For me I find I have the most energy at night and it is very hard for me to fall asleep. I know if I wake up too early (before 9am) I am very nauseous and shaky. I heard the best rest for your adrenals are 11pm - 9am.   [End]

Yes, I had my thyroid checked several times, the holistic doctor said maybe some natural thyroid hormone would help, but I am kind of losing my faith in him. My thyroid test results T-4, free was 1.4 TSH, 3rd Generation was 1.87 T3, Free was 339... *this is what he said could be higher, but the reference range was 230-420. Thanks for your response, please let me know if anyone can think of anything else. I am sick of being sick.   [End]

So I had a saliva cortisol test and it seems to be ok. The only level that was borderline was my 10pm-12am and that was right on the low range. My results 7am to 9am - .65 11am 1pm - .28 3pm - 5pm -.08 10pm - 12am - .03 I have read the adrenal fatigue book and have every symptom. I have done the Iris contraction test and my pupil alternately contracts and dilates, I also did the blood pressure test and my bood presure dropped when standing from a lying position. Symptoms 1. Difficulty getting up in the morning - if I wake up too early I am nausous 2. crave salty food 3.la ...

Yes I think that is a great idea. I have suffered for about 7 months now because the mainstream doctors do not know about Adrenal Fatigue. I have been to doctor after doctor and they write you off if you don’t have Addison’s Disease. Everybody watches Oprah, I think it would be a world of good to get the message out there that this is a health concern, and doctors need to be aware of the proper testing and treatment. I feel that most of the patients that have CFS or Fibromyalgia have Adrenal Fatigue, but the doctors just don’t know how to test properly and treat properly. I actually j ...

Thank you for your response. I am already upset because I have been sick for over 7 months, and now I have to worry about money as well.....The world is a crazy place. Once I get back on track I think we should all take a stand to the medical community. There are too many of us suffering from this out in the world to ignore it.   [End]

I went to an alt doctor today. I got the saliva test kit for cortisol and dhea, he is also testing my thyroid, and was concerned that my liver function were abnormal. I am in for a bunch of test but I am excited that we might be coming close to an answer. I didn’t think that disability would take into consideration the alt medical diagnosis.   [End]

So I just found out that I have been turned down for long-term disability. I have no idea what to do now. I have been sick since the end of April. I tried going back to work 3 times and each time after only 2-days of work I would relapse so bad that I wouldn’t be able to get out of bed for about 5 days. I have been with my job for over 5-years, but they can’t hold my position for longer then 6 months so they had to terminate me. I am currently on cobra insurance which is a huge expense, and now I will not have any money to pay my insurance, car payment, house rent, etc.... What am ...

Hello IThappens, I am the one who responded to you about Dr. Jennings previously. You are not alone, he did the same thing to me! The problem is that I know and you know that you have adrenal fatigue, but it isn’t sooooo bad that you have total adrenal insufficency so there is no test that the streamline endocrinologist can run for you to prove this. I am from NJ but staying with my parents in Florida right now because I lost my job over the same issues you are going through, so believe me I know how you feel. I went to another endocrinologist down here and she ran a acth stimulatio ...

Hi Dr. Jeff, I am on Benicar (for my high blood pressure...that is now abnormally low for me), Nexium once a day for GERD, and Colestid 1GM for bile malabsorption. Since they took my gallbladder out I have too much bile. They are the normal medicines I am taking daily. This all started after I had a sinus infection. I started with the infection on Sat, and took a Z-Pac and by Friday I couldn’t get out of bed. My sinus infection was better though. I received the results of the ACTH Stimulation Test.... Cortisol 1 at 8:45am was 18.8, which they said was low Cortisol 2 at 9:15a ...
