Hi there,

What were your symptoms before your doc started you on all of these interventions?

You probably already know, anti anxiety/ anti depressents will only cover up issues, rather than solve them.

If I were you I'd go to someone who can do a full panel of blood work and check as much as you are able.

Also:

How long have you had your symptoms and what are they?

Have you had any chronic emotional or physical trauma? Excessive physical exercise, starvation?

Do you have mercury in your teeth, any root canals?

How much Vit D do you get? Do you have any fluid retention?

Have you slept well up until now?

How is your thyroid (usually connected to adrenals)?

Do you have any history of poisening? Fluoride, mercury etc?

Do you have/had any fungal or skin issues, tinea, excema, psorasis? Have you or do you suspect parasites (wiggling or itching around anus?)

Have you been supplementing with any vitamins and for how long?

Could be all sorts of things or a combination of things going on. Sometimes it takes a while to get the root of the problem. You might also want to supplement with herbs for your adrenals rather than hormone supplement plus Vitamin B5 along with B complex and 500 mgs of Vitamin C

Kind regards

I'm sorry to hear you're having such a hard time with your health. I've been dealing with severe AF for many years, and I know how tough some of those symptoms can be.

My Dr. recovered from a very severe case of AF years before I met her. She helped me recover from a severe case of it years ago, and is very good at helping people recover from it. Her name is Rose Mary Camren, and she's based in Seattle. She does e-mail and phone consultations. I can get you in touch with her if you'd like.

How long has it been since you discontinued the progesterone? When I first started on bio-identical progesterone, it sent me silly. I got such anxiety and heart palpitations that after 6 weeks i discontinued it. In researching it further, I discovered that if you suffer from adrenal fatigue and do not address those issues first, the progesterone will attach to the wrong receptor sites and have the opposite effect. Most well meaning doctors may not be aware of this in their quest to balance hormones. The same is true when treating thyroid issues. If you take thyroid stimulating hormones without addressing the adrenal issues first, you can become worse than before you started.

This is a site that helped me so much. I am directing you to the forum portion because I think you will see you are not alone in your symptoms and attempts to fix them. But, it is only a portion of the site. There is an area called "ask the experts" I found an expert named Pete Heussman )not right spelling). He is a pharmacist at Bellevue Pharmacy in St. Louis, Mo. But, he knows doctors all over the country that can help you. You will see Bellevue Pharmacy on some of the pages. You can find every type of therapy. I chose The Wiley Protocol, which I change (less progesterone definitely) to suit what fits my needs. But, there are women who choose no hormones, and every kind of protocol there is. It is good to listen to all of the experts and work with someone who seems to resonate with you. Here is the forum, you can read, to post you must register. Take a look around the site, You won't find so many knowledgeable people in one place anywhere else. They will help with getting you what you want. Be blessed!

I am posting this to spread the word and help others that are in the same predicament. I originally posted this on another forum question regarding hormone imbalance etc. I hope this brings you the same relief it did my wife.

I want to give a little insight to the expensive ongoing "hormone replacement therapy" that many doctors are suggesting to patients. As we all know many peoples situations are different. However I have found that the following items 4-ENDOCRINE HEALTH™ and THYADINE by TriMedica have extremely positive affects.

No i am not a representative of the company nor have any stake in its success or failure. This information was giving to me by a Biochemist for my wife. For years she had difficulty losing weight, felt tired and fatigued all the time, foggy in the head, and just didn't feel like herself.

Literally in 2 weeks after taking both of the products, of course with her daily More Than A Multiple vitamins, her symptoms began to subside and she felt much better. Her doctor had recommended Hormone replacement therapy and that was when i phoned my friend that happens to be a biochemist. These two items are what he suggested that she try BEFORE starting any hormone replacement system. Of course her doctor NEVER recommended these nor knew anything about them and suggested against any "herbal" remedy. However he was completely wrong. It has been a year and a half and blood test show no more problems and she feels great.

Thank heaven for nature......
