Adrenal support symptoms and conditions

Dear Jen

My Thyroid elevated quite high when I came off the Yaz I thought I was having heart attack
I had it last checked a month and half ago and it was 0.89

I dont know I too was wondering where it is at now
Maybe should have it checked again

Wish I understood what is making us all feel this way
Hormones?
Thyroid?
Stress?Anxiety?
Depression?

Which is it what is it???

I have tried so much
Just got adrenal support vitamins today and whole foods B6
Trying the vitamins now

Cant fall asleep on my own is so terrible

Does anyone else have insomnia or the problem where you cant fall asleep

Dejay had it the same as me but the Lexapro I believe made her gain her sleep back.

Is anyone else out there taking antidepressants and it helped alot

Dejay was a mess and the Lexapro has her out everyday and functioning pretty well and sleeping

I tried Lexapro for 4 weeks and it nearly killed me

My doctor wants me to try Celexa a mild version thinks it would help alot but Iam terrified

Anyone know?

Ladies.
I have experienced MANY of the side effects mentioned on this site(Thank GOD for this, by the way!), some more than others. I was only on YASMIN for 6 months and started having problems by the 4th month. The weight gaina and bloating started then. I am since working with a very knowledgeable nutritionist and she has helped me greatly. We are working with supplements to get my adrenal support back into sync. She weighed me and determined that I am carrying 4 pounds of water weight! I hightly recommend this approach, especially if your gyno if not supportive in this regard.

Best of luck to all,

BE AFRAID--BE VERY AFRAID!

Had 3 20mg shots of Kenalog in each hip for bursitis pain on March 7th. Went back to doctor two weeks later for follow up. Bursitis pain was gone! So....he asked me to trust him and gave me two more (20mg) shots in each buttock for fibrmyalgia, even tho I reported weakness in my thighs. Had had a succession of problems since then. Legs so weak that I was unable to get up from toilet and chairs without pushing off with my hands, difficulty going up curbs, 3 upper resiratory infections in 4 weeks, extreme fatigue, depression, moon face, hair on face, thinning skin which bruises very easily, vertigo, diarreah, ankles that are grossly swollen. It's almost 5 months now, and there is some improvement in the strength in my legs; however my legs feel like Gumby legs, I bump into walls, still feel week, anke still swollen, still feel fatigue. I can walk, but find it difficult to stand for more than 2-3 minutes. Fortunately I found a doctor who practices integrative medicine and he immediately put me on adrenal support, which helped with the fatigue. I always know if I need to increase the dosage, because I cry easily (not a natural state for me) and jump at every sudden noise.
Like most of you, my doctor gave me no warning on the side effects of Kenalog. Needless to say, I've changed doctors.
I'm seeing a neurologist next week, and I hope he will be of help! It would be nice to know how long this stuff takes to get out of my system.

I sympathize with you all and wish you well.
