Hi:

I have CFIDS, FM, Lyme Disease, Stealth Virus Infection,
Hypothyroidism, and Phase II Adrenal Exhaustion.

I have come here, because those of you with full blown Addison
Disease most likely have done alot of reaseach on Adrenals - HTPAxis -
Thyroids, and associated meds.

My Doc has me on low doses of Compounded Cortisol, and to my
amazment, my pain went away. (I am talking years and years of
horrific Joint, Muscle spasms, Neuropathy, Radial Shooting Pain,
Sciatic, etc. went away like POOF!) Interestingly enough all the
Pain problems come back when I go off my cortisol.

I also noticed that my ability to handle stress is much better, and I
better able to handle panic/anxiety attacks.

Because the pathology of CFIDS is that our H/P Axis has been
damaged. Thereby causing Neuro, endocrine and immune dysfuntions.

I am trying to get a better understanding on the Long term use of C-
Cortisol.

How this deficiency affects Panic/Anxiety Attacks.

And I am also very interested in being pointed towards any articles
which may substantiate the Pain ellivation that I have experience. I
am convinced they are connected in some way ... but don't quite
understand how.

You are welcome to backdoor me.

Respectfully,
Alexis
