Hi Judi, Well first of all - well done for getting through all that. Your operation must have been far bigger than mine and I feel for you as I still remember...
Hi Jackie, I read your post with interest because some years ago, a doctor (replacement) came to my house because of what I thought was just a severe chest...
Hi Robin, I'm glad your surgery went well, though I don't envy you the crutches! I'm glad you were able to arrange some housing so they didn't have to postpone...
Dear Teddy, You hit the nail on teh head with your comment about us DD'ers not bouncing back! I wish there were some way to document that so that when we are...
Hi Jackie, Thins are actually a bit better today, though i am still totally worn out. I did sleep better last night thanks to a suggestion from the PT to "hug...
I have an odd cortisol level too, but it isn't low. It is at the very high end of range without any stressful things going on ...and once I suspect it went...
Hey guys, My new doc decided my cholesterol was too high and put me on simvastatin. She said, almost in passing, that simvastatin has some anti-inflamatory...
Dear Chris, Whew! I was a little scared there - thought we might be joining our UK sisterhood with a waiting period of 2 years! I know about the cancellation...
Hi Judi, Sorry to hear about your less-than-pleasant surgery experience (well, it's never pleasant, but yours was worse than usual). I hope that your recovery...
Greetings! I had a long conversation with a doctor from San Diego, California, yesterday. She is an endocrinologist interested in studying fat tissue samples....
Hey Dora! I will be seeing my PCP next Wednesday, and she is in the same clinic as an Endo, I want to see. If she thinks he can help me better than she can,...
Hi multicolored Judi Glad to hear that you are doing all right after the surgery. I know how frustrating it is when the hospital staff does not understand our...
This is exactly the reason why we need family, and our Dr's to be advocates for us. I am so sensitive to medications, I shudder at the thought of being ...
Hi Judith! I'd be interested in hearing how you do with the Simvastatin, because my hubby needs to take cholesterol meds, plus have an anti-inflammatory. Is...
Hi Jennifer,..I'm surprised they didn't scan your adrenal glands to see if there was a tumor, or even inflammation? I have heard too that high cortisol levels...
Dora, that's great news! I'm not in a big hurry to get sliced and diced any more right now, but may not have a choice if this group of lumps on my armbone...
Dear Jackie, Thanks for your concern. I don't seem to have the classic symptoms at the moment. My current endo is testing my blood cortisol once every four...

Interesting news, Judith. Keep us posted. Re the inflammation -- guess we don't know at this point whether the inflammation is causative or reactive, re the...
Interesting post, Margie. So, just thinking outloud here, stress reduces the adrenal cortisol output, and then FM could start...By the way, I had nonstop ...
Thx for your message, Jackie -- so far, with this limited few-days period post-surgery, I'd have to say I was in much, much greater discomfort from all the ...
Hi Skippy -- It's my sense that it would be good if we were to e-mail the TV program and thank them for bringing awareness to the issue -- could you get the...
Hi Robin, So glad to hear that you pain has decreased significantly!! Hope you continue to feel better! Actually, physical stress initially INCREASES cortisol...
