I have been reading Suzanne Somers books and she writes about her excellent experience with bio identical hormones. Adrenal Stress is also a good issue that I will discuss with my doctor. I do need to read and educate myself more in this area. Thank you, I really appreciate your comment! Hi Linda,

I have actually been thinking about getting tested for bio identical hormones. I have been reading Suzanne Somers books and she writes about her excellent experience with bio identical hormones.

Adrenal Stress is also a good issue that I will discuss with my doctor. I do need to read and educate myself more in this area.

Thank you, I really appreciate your comment!

However, I would think since you have a cortisol problem it would be more adrenal stress. Do you have a good bio identical hormone doc near you who would actutually test you for low adrenals and low thyroid (and treat you as many docs won't for God only knows why) as they many times go hand in hand and you can't treat a thyroid problem until you have the adrenals under control. I use natural armour thyroid (although I am going to switch to Naturthroid as it doesn't have anything in it that will irritate my allergies) and natural cortef. I am down to a quarter of a cortef pill now. I was having hot flashes (even though I am 58 I am not in meno and the hot flashes are from low adrenals)and they stopped as soon as I got on the cortef. I hadn't slept well in almost 4 years and when I got on these meds I started sleeping like a baby and it is wonderful. We also got a Denver matress (a Vail) and it has helped alot too. I do low carb (I had tow low carb stores in my city at one time) but because of my thyroid I haven't been able to get off the last 20 lbs. However, it takes usually a year to get the thyroid meds right and I am opnly at 5 months and I go back to the doc in a couple weeks and he will up my meds. I hope this is helpful and feel free to email me with any questions.
