> Something to keep in mind. When your body isn't producing the addequate amount of hormones, then your addrenal glands will kick in and try to produce them, which is really not their job. So this stresses out the body because your adrenals are not doing the work they are supposed to. This can lead to a whole load of different problems, including thyroid problems.

> My body went into extreme addrenal fatique, but luckily my thyroid wasn't effected. I had to jump into action and reverse the process, but it has been a long and slow process. That's one of the reasons I stopped heavy exercise. Doc said that when you are in addrenal stress, then your body is already stressed and you end up doing more harm to yourself than good by putting the added stress on yourself physically. It never has time to repair. I could go walking, but had to stop running and weight training.

>Thanks Courtney,I could kick myself sometimes for not having those tests done a long time ago. I was under an extreme amount of stress for quite a while. I can't imagine something didn't go into over drive! I'll get on that. Thanks for the info.
