Darn I typed a big one here and lost it. Anyways, Randy there are a myriad of meds that they do use for this case- proscar/propecia/aldactone , can give info if you need it, for females a first line of meds is oral contraceptives sometimes with an added anti androgenic Many herbals apparently decrease it as well, the L theanine, L tyrosine, L arginine, L carnitine, don't have experience with those and probably a ton of info out there High cortisol is liked to pretty much everything immunosuppressive or that the immunosuppressed 'get'.. Sometimes they say the high cort can predispose us to this that and the other and/ or vice versa.. Heck it even impacts the NK cells (CD57) and is linked to alzheimer,ms---SOUND FAMILIAR? In my own mind-it's all Lyme good luck, talk with the doc. Oh and one more thing-- those of us who have been on steroids in the past -even topical or nasal (screwed me up and if you have Lyme say NO) then the cortisol levels can be elevated with those too, and with the abrupt stopping of steroid use. We all probably have it and I am really interested in how to get it down. Females-Yaz is supposed to be a good BC pill for that Post edited by: Canuck, at: 02/22/2009 11:41 [b]Group Leader
Please take this advice as personal experience and not that of a medical professional. Sometimes experience is what makes us learn and help one another. Take the pieces you need, and always question, ask, with an open mind and heart...[/b]
