Thank you for your prayers Joni! I have found that sleeping in late is helping me with my fatigue and need for naps during the day. I am usually up in the bedroom before 9:00 pm in my jammies...rest is so important. I admire you for the hard work yo…
Oh I do pray you don't get that, that type of vomiting is the worst when you are healthy! I wonder if you could ever keep phergen suppositories on hand for this type of thing. Someone was very kind to me a few days before I delivered my first child,…
Joni, Hope your Christmas was happy! Your "no presents" idea sounds great, I would love to do that too. We don't exchange a lot of gifts anymore but it is a hassle. Neither one of my sons have a lot of money to spare. I would rather get coupons or "…
Hello all! I hope you are feeling good and have a happy weekend. I've been wondering about you. I'm doing fine when I pace myself and don't get bogged down emotionally. Tomorrow we're, all eight of us, going to my Mom's for dinner. I'm really lookin…
Well. I've been on the DHEA for a week and I think its doing something for me. I feel some "life" in me that wasn't there. The pharmacist for my bhrt also upped my testosterone and my progesterone and just this little tweak, adding the DHEA seems to…
I'm positive with you! And I'm praying for you. Yes, I've heard about the virus. I wanted to pass along a link to this newsletter about the XMRV virus. Please share with us what you learn and anything else you want to share!
Blessings to you!

Hi everyone! I have assembled a whole new team of doctors because I'm just not getting any better. I have a neurologist who wants me to get a brain/ cervical spine MRI, an endocrinologist, and an infectious disease Chronic Fatigue Syndrome specialis…
Right now I'm working on getting off all stimulants. I have low cortisol and believe I have a deficient constitution according to Traditional Chinese medicine. Stimulants are such a slippery slope for me because I want to feel good but my wisdom tel…
I'm so glad to hear from you but am surprised it never came to my email box. Usually the letters from here come in. But I decided to stop and say hi because it had been a week. There are so few people I know that struggle specifcally with adrenal th…
You've been in my prayers, Carrie. It sounds like a good plan to move foreward in getting to the bottom of all this to get a solution. Please keep in touch when you can, especially with your progress with your tests and the advice that you get. I re…
Oh Carrie, I'm so glad you wrote and let us know. I'm also so glad you're fighting this and looking for answers, there has to be some! How frustrating and frightening for you. I am praying, now, that you find wisdom and strength during this time. I…
Hi everyone! How are you all doing? I've been doing really poorly the past 2 weeks- I tend to "disappear" when things are super bad but I'm going to try not to isolate. I had a stessful event about 2 weeks ago that sent me into an adrenal crash. I j…
Its great to see you. I'm sorry your guys are sick. Not sure how to escape it but we sure did use a lot of Robitussin in the house, the one with DM.
I take ten mgs. a day. I'm just trying to read about it now. I have a burst of energy and wonder if…
Yes I take DHEA, 12.5 mg per day. I have no ovaries either but haven't had my testosterone checked for quite a while. DHEA is supposed to help with your energy level, some people swear by it but I don't know if it helps me or not. How much are you t…
I started on these today and I'm super tired, sleepy tonight. I wonder if its because of these capsules. According to my saliva test there was no change in my testosterone so I guess oral capsules are supposed to help. I think I remember you, Mauree…
How is everyone? My last of six has the flu, terrible four day fever and deep cough. She needs to get better because she is having a surgery next week to get a cyst on the back of her leg removed that was terribly infected. She is 11 yo. I'm prone t…
