Thanks for your comments Van, I'll follow those tests, and see what the Endo runs. I often order my own tests as well, so I can augment if need be (unless it a reactionary test, of course).
When I was looking at your thyroid post a couple of weeks back, I had searched on you, and read a number of your previous posts. You sure have something going on there, and have been through a lot. I hope you find some answers too.
I went to my GP, who is usually hard to get in to see, and saw his Nurse Practitioner instead. I wanted to see if it was a good idea to try some Cortef for a couple of weeks, and see how I did. Unfortunately, she knew nothing about that, or thyroid (is a TSH-worshiper), and just passed me on to the Endo..... 3 month waiting time. I have an excellent endo though, so... guess I'll just suffer for another 1/4 year.
I was considering cautiously trying something mild, just as an experiment - not sure I want to do that. Are these adrenal extracts you mention, available from common sources (health food stores)? And what ingredient do you look for that makes one brand Cortisol-increasing, versus just a "support" supplement?
Sonya - Are you saying that the Cortef/Florinef can cause osteo? Ghee, that sounds fun. My wife is on Actonel. Judging by her reaction, I'd be in trouble taking that stuff. Sorry about your bones - both in general, and specifically to the two in mention.
