Re: ovarian thryoid adrenal axis
THank you for posting here! I see alot of people on CZ that have an idea they have adrenal problems, and assume it's just the adrenals that need to be addressed. As you said, "Axis"- how the glands all affect other glands. Hypothalmus/pituitary/thyroid/adrenal Axis)
I did also buy the James Wilson book and supplements to try to treat myself...and felt somewhat better, but the book made much more sense to me after I had gone through the saliva testing, and had a better understanding of how the glands are supposed to work together.
The ND mentioned it as being like a "train wreck" too-- with the hypothalmus being the engine of the train, and how when the glands are out of balance, the train gets derailed.
Thanks for your suggestion for the progestrone for dad too--when the shot was given to kill the testostrone, they told him to expect that he would have the hot flashes for about 6 months--that was 3 years ago, and he's still having them. Not as frequently as he did, they were awful for the first couple of years.
