Im 19 years old with border line adrenal insufficiency 😢 ...

I'm so glad you're okay and so sorry for all you went through! I hope the medical field becomes far more educated on adrenal insufficiency soon!

Rice flour is NOT gluten free. It does not contain gliadin (the form of gluten we actually hear about), but does contain a different form. Don't trust me. I always suggest you do the research for yourself.

What blood test convinced the Doctors?

💜🙏. Thank the Lord for brighten days ahead. Step by step.

I'm so sorry about all the arguing going on around you. It only makes your stress & symptoms worse. It's a very "bad" situation to be living in. The illness is bad enough but having to deal with people fighting around you can drive you to insanity. I will pray for you so God can somehow get you away from all this & give you His peace in your heart. So sorry😢. God bless you! 🙏 From someone who deeply understands! 🌹

I liked so much what you had to say! I have secondary adrenal insufficiency & my Endocrinologist, my Primary Care doctor, & my husband are very supportive. Friends & family don't understand & unfortunately I have lost friends because of this illness. I certainly know & can empathize with your symptoms. Many of the symptoms you described I also have. I wish that you & I would be able to be friends & support one another. I wish you all the best & pray that you have more days that are positive & filled with more energy. I can't get out of bed on most days, no matter how much I try. I get up just to go to the bathroom & back to bed😢. There's a lot of brain fog & difficulty concentrating. I have to make lists for everything I need to do. Well, enough of my symptoms. I hope that anyone who suffers from this illness & is reading this will learn to accept their limitations & be kinder with themselves. This illness has taught me a lot about life & myself. May God help all of us who suffer with this disease. My ❤ goes out to you! Rose 🌹

How much hydrocortisone did you start taking.

I've been going through adrenal fatigue (HPA axis stress dysfunction.) it's been horrific. This is a sixth year and I'm finally coming out the other side. No help from doctors, I had to find out things myself. crazy covid didn't help. Thankfully I didn't get the clotshot in my already struggling body. I have to take things very slow. it's been a crazy ride and cost me a fortune trying to get my body back. I'm using cannabis in coconut oil now and I'm finally feeling good again. I still get bad shaky days but they are getting less and lasting less. I probably will never fully get my strength back but I'm 77. so expected. I will admit there were times, because it went on and on, that I didn't care if I'd died, it was so horrible. But I am better so be strong, LOVE YOUR BODY especially when it is struggling. Treat it as you would a sick child, with tender love. it will respond accordingly.❤❤❤

I have been diagnosed with Addison's for over 10 years, but had it for way longer and hospitalized with severe adrenal crisis and followed by coma. These were near death experiences. I have had numerous crisis' since and can't count them all, some were an ambulance ride and hospitalization. And some I learned to recognize the symptoms early and head the crisis off at home. The doctors won't treat you anyway and I have nearly died in front of them and they just watch your blood pressure. I am on stress doses of Hydrocortisone now due to pain from arthritis. I can say that even though you are on HC that you still have debilitating symptoms of Addison's. I have to balance my own electrolytes because I produce zero Aldosterone. And zero all the other hormones made by the Cortex. I have a good doctor 5 hours drive from here, so he can't help me in the ER. I am trying to educate my doctors and ambulance, hospital and ER with literature for that very purpose from the National Adrenal Disease Foundation. All kinds of things can put me into a crisis, like being out in the cold for an hour, or family trouble, or loud noise. I turned off the buzzer on my dryer because it sends adrenaline through my body. The list goes on, worry or fear. Or good things like being with my grand kids. It is all stress and I can take very little. I can not work and do the things I use to do like garden. This disease is all encompassing. Some people say they can life a relatively normal life after getting on steroids. I don't see how. I have zero production of hormones, from the cortex. I have to be my own doctor as my doctor who cares for me is so far away. I like connecting with others who have the disease so I can learn and better take care of myself. Thank you for sharing your life.

I have unspecified adrenal insufficiency that's chronic. I had the and still have some hyperpigmentation. Anyhow, so making new friends and explaining can be difficult to get across. Like recently my new friends have said oh I get really tired. Maybe I should get checked. I think I have what you have. I don't wish it on anyone. I'll ask them. Have you ever had your hormones checked and they say no? I'm supposed to be on HR since I had a hysterectomy or partial hysterectomy or I'm supposed to take B12. Tada... I encourage them to go to the doctor

I’ve had 4 miscarriages and I too have MTHFR. I’m on lovenox and aspirin currently. Do you think Serrapeptase will help me or the Lovenox and aspirin should be good?

Sounds like hypercalcemia from hyperthyroidism

MTHFR homozygous c677t here. I just ordered and am in the process of ovulating. Do you think I should start now or wait? I have had 5 miscarriages in 2 years after having healthy pregnancies with no issues. Thoughts?

I just wanted to thank you for sharing this information with the MTHFR community.i truly believe because I added serrapeptase to my morning supplement regimen, I carried my baby girl to term. My pregnancy was perfectly healthy with no bleeding complications. I ended up having a c section because of a triple nuchal chord but otherwise nothing MTHFR related. I took it up until the day before I gave birth. Thank you again… I cannot be more grateful!

Thank you. This is really so very helpfull. I think i have had about 3 adrenal crisis. Before i was diagnosed. And one since. Its all a learning curve. That we have to manage and figure out on our own. Its great to hear your experience. Thank you lovely❤❤❤❤

Hi from the UK. Thank you so much for making this video. Newly diagnosed. Very up n down. Sorting out my diet. Yes i think it will take a while to get the dose right. And i believe we know our bodies best. How we feel. And what dose of meds suits us. As we are all differrent. With differrent health issues. Ages ect. Listen to our bodies. Reduce stress. Lots of good food. Water and sleep and rest. And dont push ourselves. Be kind to ourselves. Rest when your body tells you. Good days bad days. I have Addisons.xx❤❤❤

Interesting, this sounds very similar to my symptoms and experiences which im currently trying to figure out, I also have hormonal deficiencies and its strange but i also have red hair

I know this is old- but going through this video now and I'm trying to find information out there about adrenal insufficiency and pregnancy, and seeing this is so encouraging to me. It's a season of rest for me too and it's been so hard and I haven't had much help or guidance from my endocrinologist, but knowing that it's okay to rest and seeing you make it through this pregnancy gives me so much hope.

Trying to look up pregnancy info with adrenal insufficiency is impossible! Thank you for this. Hearing what you had to get your dosage too helped me a lot. My doctor basically thinks my dose just needs to stay the same- but I'm really struggling. Looking forward to going back and watching all your older pregnancy videos like this now!

I had my hormones tested and came out with a very low cortisol reading - I was originally diagnosed with hypoadrenalism and given hydrocortisone. But I didn't take the medication at all because I was worried about side effects - a year later I was tested again and the cortisol levels were normal. It turned out the hypoadrenalism was caused by a medication I was taking at the time - certain medications suppress ACTH. This was opioid induced and then resolved when I stopped taking the painkillers.

Unrelated but u could be young Nicole Kidman’s twin. Crazy!

Smoothie recipe?

I had a Dex test for cortisol and it came back as 1 (4. is low on the scale) today, I had the ATCH testing with BP done before and after the test (and blood draws) I was wondering if or how much your BP changed ? For example, my baseline BP was 99/66 (Before the IV injection) end of the test it was 109/69. So, clearly, it did go up but is this a normal/average/low/high result for ATCH test? If you could toss in your 2 cents it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi! Please, tell me what is your medication. (The transcription is incorrect, and I didn't understand. English is my 2nd language.) Thanks a lot 🌹

Yeah I think its a tragedy that main stream medicine has totally dropped the ball with thyroid and adrenal issues, in a backward way its encouraging to read the comments of other sufferers as I thought I was the only person with weird health issues and the rest of humanity was way healthier than me! I'm 58 I had adrenal issues my whole life and its ruined my health and also my life its takes everything, relationships, jobs and careers! I personally don't believe stress causes adrenal insufficiency I think that's absolute bullshit I think you are either lucky or unlucky you're born with bad adrenals like I was or you are not, I know lots of people who have very stressful lives and they revel in it they are not sick in anyway whereas if your adrenals are bad then you cannot cope with any kind of stress, not physical chemical or emotional, you can have all the spa days you like but it won't make one tiny bit of difference, you can be as healthy as you like but it will not make any difference whatsoever I know I tried everything and I just end up where I started, lifestyle changes are a good thing for overall health but if you think its going to fix your adrenals issues then I'm sorry to tell you that going to be disappointed, it won't! I believe the only thing that will "help" with the problem is firstly talk to a professional endocrinologist never a General Practitioner GP's are not suitably trained in this area of medicine, they couldn't spot an adrenal crisis from a mile away! If you are trying to deal with this through your family doctor then you are just wasting your time in most cases unless you are very lucky so that route is a bit of a long shot IMOP Its like all things if I had a heart problem I would insist on being referred to a specialist cardiologist someone that specialises in that subject because its far too complex for your average GP First you need a full work up by a "good" endocrinologist and figure out exactly whats going on and that's what I am trying to do now as I am tired of trying to self medicate because as Ive gotten older I can no longer cope as well as I used to so I need to get this fixed! I have symptoms of Addisons & Cushing's so could be cortisol insensitivity I never had black gums or fat belly, I do have very small amount of belly fat that I cant shift plus some fatty tissue at the back of my neck, I sometimes have a rounded puffy face but not always comes and goes, also I have skinny legs, I have GERD, IBS, Candida flare ups, eczema, hypothyroidism, depression, brain fog, libido all over the place, I have sore sandy eyes, I have earwax issues blocking my ears all related so I'm told, also my memory sucks and I'm getting the heart pumping thing every time I climb the stairs or lift something heavyish! Sorry to hear so many people suffering and more importantly not getting treated properly it's tragic that lives are wasting away when I believe this is fixable! Take care you guys x

I have every single one of these symptoms.

I started feeling the shoulder weakness almost 4 years ago and I wouldn't have known anything was wrong until I took up dancing and within a year I would feel the same way you feel..I know that feeling with the heart...like a bowl of jello is shaking inside your chest and you can feel it in the back of your throat...it's an easy one for us to diagnose...theirs no way you can you can't come to that conclusion when you feel like we do all day everyday

One thing I do not understand. I have heard so many women say that they have lived with Hashimoto’s for decades before they were diagnosed. I had symptoms of Hashimoto’s for four months they were excruciating. I wasn’t able to work anymore and I went to my doctor told him all my symptoms he tested my TPO antibodies and Bam. They were 37 times higher than they should, so there it was just like that.

Beginning my journey of addressing this issue and already getting resistance from doctors 😢 looking for answers. Thank you for sharing ❤

God bless you sweetheart ! I’m sorry sorry you have gone through that! Prayers for your healing ❤🙏

I’m newly diagnosed with Secondary Adrenal Insufficiency and this is probably the best explanation I’ve found thus far! Thank you and blessings to us all. 💜🙏🏽

Im so glad you are feeling better and received the proper diagnosis. I am so surprised to did not have a adrenal crisis having the flu and not being on your stress dose or any dose of hydrocortisone and fludrocortisone. I think some of your viewers are confusing adrenal fatigue and addisons disease which as you know are two very different things. I am not sure if you know about NADF it's the National Adrenal Disease Foundation but they are a great resource! I hope you continue to feel well!

Thank you for sharing your story ❤

Why can't they just understand how their stupid, trivial stressors and fighting effect MY heart, MY body, MY mental health?????? I can't breathe or function when their arguments, etc. start. Augh!!! And I thought the ignorance about my t1 diabetes was bad. SMDH.

Have you tried homeopathy? Give it a try

I have both parts of the mtfhr would you still recommend?

So few doctors think of endocrine problems, and it is common for people with them to have gone through a plethora of medics and being told ther is nothing physically wrong before anyone thinks of any endocrine tests. I think medical students and general doctors should be made much more aware of this.

What medication did she say at the end? The ones that helped her?

I’m recently diagnosed with Addison’s and your video really hit home to me. Thank you for posting it! I feel less alone knowing others are out there who understand what we go through. 🦋

I wish I was as confident as you about weight. I did fine for about 10 years and then lost the battle. It's stabilized now but I'm heavier and can't lose it like I used to. People who are prone to weight gain and age and gender etc are all factors in this regard. My #11 - The weight messages re adrenal insufficiency are different for each of us, with a wide swing of outcomes. Please don't weight shame.

I’m having similar symptoms! My Dr won’t listen, just blows me off! Why is this such a familiar story with doctors these days? 😮What is happening to the medical profession ❓

Thanks for making this video. I've been going thru this for many many years and feel I'm at my end. Starting to get these "thick" toxic headaches now and feeling EXTREMELY unwell which I didn't think could get worse than my normal flu-like feelings. My flanks hurt, lower back hurts, my legs don't work like they used to, I can barely get up from the floor. I feel so weak and fatigued, can't get enough salt, constantly dehydrated no matter how much I drink. Just got done asking a Dr about adrenals again and made sure I mentioned that I don't go to the Dr anymore unless it is extremely bad because the stress of getting over another failed visit where no one helps me is too much for me to overcome...so for her to please know this is serious. Well, I had nausea, diarreah, and weird thigh pain on both thighs along with ab pain and lower back pain and exhaustion for this dr visit. They did just normal bloodwork (CBC and CMP) which came back pretty much normal and now nothing from them. Western Medicine has failed me completely. My body feels like it's dying. I really hope this is the end, tbh. I have "adrenals/hydrocortisone" written on my body in the event I go into a coma and also a letter next to my bed saying "eff you" to all the drs who refused to help me. This is torturous. I know some of you can identify with this post.

I teared up along with you x Ps what did you say at 9.15? Was it a growth hormone deficiency?

I'm going through a lot of stuff.I been diagnosed with this disease. I need help My body is so ehexaut I have nine auto disease the

LOVE TO SEE U

Ur blood work showed high potassium low cortisol right?

Hello! Your videos have been very helpful as I navigate my own AI journey. Is your secondary AI autoimmune related? Did they ever find a cause or is it unknown? Trying to figure out a cause for mine at the moment - no Addison's but i do have type 1 diabetes. Thank you again for sharing about your journey!

Where did you get it from

Hey! This is off the wall but try reading the book The Water of Life by Armstrong. Heals many things.
