Re: Where to start??? Overwhelmed a little

Hi Oui,

I guess I only take a lof of supps in relation to all of my friends who take nothing. I take basic supplements and have for years (C, all of the B vites, E and Selenium, CoQ10, etc). I also take supplements to support my adrenals like glandulars, cordyceps, etc. As I am sure you know, Allopathic medicine does not recognise adrenal fatigue as an illness or condition. I have no doubt that I had it. I am so much better now though.

I had a huge emotional drop when I found out I was going to lose my Dad a year and a half ago right after I had just started a brand new job. I was overwhelmed and exhausted and started taking herbal ephedra from time to time because I couldn't focus on anything. My Dad died last February and I finally was able to focus and stopped the ephedra. My adrenals were shot. I had no fight or flight response. I couldn't pull myself out of bed for love or money. I saw a Doctor who told me to "rest more." and I took my health in my own hands. Am mostly ok now. It's amazing, really.

But, I want to get my thyroid tested because I do have a lot of those symptoms although not all (am never ill, never constipated, for example, which are typical Hypo symptoms). I don't like Doctors, don't trust them, feel that I can do better myself if I just have some idea what to do.

I would never take anything more intense than the iodine/iodide without some sort of formal testing but I am comfortable with this treatment being good for me for a wider range of things, albeit prophylactically.
