Adrenals and cortisol levels.
by bitten, Apr 15, 2007 12:00AM
Hi there,
I was hoping to hear from hypo folk who have had there adrenal glands and other glands tested, not just thyroid.
I am working with a Natra path physician and he has really enlightened me to the seriousness of this.
I have been off thyroxine for almost 3 weeks now and feel fine. Next month I will have my adrenal glands checked and my cortisol levels looked at.
It is his belief that many hypo people are really suffering from a multidude of gladular problems and thyroid is the only one most dr.s look at.
I appreciate everyone's kind concern, but negative scare-mongering is not needed.
I know the risks of being without meds, etc. I also know that there are truly ill hypo people who could never have stopped there meds as I have. I am not talking about those awful cases.
I wish everyone the best,
Bitten
