Yes, I had the constant nausea, dry heaves, green poop, panic, air hunger, weight loss, difficulty breathing due to panic, etc. When my AF started to improve, these symptoms gradually but definitely went away, thank God, and it's been over 3 months that I no longer have these symptoms.

I too have a parathyroid tumor, as I mentioned before to you. But because I have normal, steady, in range calcium levels tested over 6 months time, my nausea wasn't from high fluctuating calcium, it was from me having AF. I'll bet some of your nausea is from your AF symptoms, and some is from your high calcium levels.

Hydrocortisone might work for you, even though it's not working that much for me... everyone is different.

MEN is extremely rare... don't get overly worried about crazy possibilities like that. It's a good thing you are going to Flordia to Dr. Norman, you will be in good hands with him.

Symptomatic hyperparathyroidism
Of those patients who do present with symptoms, they are commonly associated with the effects of an increased level of calcium. Since calcium is involved in trans-synaptic communication in the nervous system, high blood calcium levels have a direct effect on the nervous system. Thus, most of the symptoms of parathyroid disease are "neurological" in origin. Common manifestations of hyperparathyroidism include weakness and fatigue, depression, bone pain, muscle soreness (myalgias), decreased appetite, feelings of nausea and vomiting, constipation, polyuria, polydipsia, cognitive impairment, kidney stones and osteoporosis.[4] Surgical removal of a parathyroid tumor will eliminate the symptoms in most patients.

Akkik, the good news is that if you use HC the right way, it can make you feel MUCH better almost overnight. But it won't necessarily HEAL your adrenals.

My adrenal fatigue became really bad 3 years ago when a doctor recommended taking thyroid hormones. The full replacement dose for most people is 2-2.5 grains of Armour, but the doctor didn't give a dose and just said to take as much as I wanted, and I ended up taking the equivalent of 7 grains of Armour. After a few days of this, I woke up and barely recognized myself in the mirror. An endocrinologist I saw after the incident said that I probably had a mild heart attack, and if I was older, I likely would've died.

I felt so horrible that I became convinced that HC was my only solution. I had a lot of debt at the time, so quitting my job wasn't an option, even though I wanted to. I needed an emergency fix, and HC helped. I was on it for 1.5 years, after which I had a decent amount of money saved up. So I quit my job, got off HC, and I've been slowly healing myself naturally.


If you go on HC, it won't be the end of the world.

Dr. Lam's protocol is just ONE method out of many. There are thousands of people at the NTH-Adrenals Yahoo group who use HC for adrenal fatigue. There are other people at the Adrenal-Fatigue Yahoo group using nutrition and Chinese herbs for adrenal fatigue (this is what I'm doing).

If you do start HC, please make sure that you are taking at least 20-30 mg per day. If you take anything less, you will feel like crap. Hope4myadrenals, this might be why HC isn't working for you.

I'm not recommending people go on HC, but in certain situations, it can be a life-saver.

I feel so bad for you..but don't worry..I was neary dying too and went on HC. IMMEDIATELY I felt like I was not dying anymore.

It may not cure all your problems, so it is important to listen to your doc..if you have a good one, that is.

Make sure you start building your adrenals up by taking the proper nutrition and doing something like Dr. Lam protocol.

Blessings...
