Dear Tick-Borne Friends,

I feel like the exhausted royal poop-ola colored herxed hunchback of Notre Dame. (Do you get my visual?) :)

I met with my LLMD this week for my lab results. (Brief history, suspected debilitating active Lyme 2004-2008, recovered to pseudo health but was bitten this Spring and started all sx again.) We are waiting on the full Igenex report, but so far I tested pos for Lyme B. All the other labs reveal that I have adrenal issues, very low ferritin, and vit D and COq10 deficiencies.

I'm beginning a bunch of stuff to supplement Vit D, iron, COQ10 to help get me back up. I'm dealing with high blood pressure that I have to wonder is a result of the crazy deficiencies my body is battling.

Anyone have any success stories about treating adrenal issues? Anyone have stories about adrenal probs causing dramatic variations in blood pressure? How have you treated your adrenal issues? My doc suggested an OTC adrenal glandular, but I'm really nervous about this as I've read that they can be hard to get off.

I started Buhner's book tonight and am intrigued by Hawthorn and andrographis, I'd love some feedback about these 2. I'm currently taking doxy, about to add zithro, doing detox baths, and taking vit c, iron, vit D, fish oil, Magnesuim.

Thanks for reading through my brainfoggy msg. I'd welcome your feedback or opinions on any of what I've shared.

I had adrenal issues affecting my energy, stamina and also blood sugar/insulin. I focused on my eating habits and diet but I also focused on detoxing... many of these issues cleared up including the brain fog with glutathione on a regular basis. I also am on numerous supplements Check with your LLMD about this.(glut)

Now I am focusing on Bart issues, which is no fun because its persistant....neuropathy (inflamation). But the other issues seem to have subsided with several rounds of various antibios for 9 mos now.

all this can vary person to person...I think if you can nail down the regime for you, healing can continue and succeed

good luck

This is what holistic doc had me buy at her office. For adrenals. Expensive,and cant say if its working yet. Then again ive had issues for 10 years,and its an herb so i';ll give it some more time.

Well, I didn't go the herbal route for my adrenals and thyroid issues,even though I use herb for my healing of my tick-borne infections. My doc told me that my adrenals were ready to completely shut down when I first started seeing her, and she had me start on a Homeopathic remedy made by NatraBio, simply called Adrenal support. I also use NatraBio's thyroid support. Neither of them are very expensive and can be found in health food stores and online for convenience.

My adrenal issues and my thyroid issues are definitely much improved, although I think I have a ways to go still as they were so bad off.

I also had Adrenal issues.. I was having "Adrenal crashes"... I was put on Raw Adrenal and Ashwagandha BUT my Corisol was so low that I couldnt function hardly at all so the doc added HC (hydrocortisone) small amounts tho for several months ( theres a good book out called Safe uses of Cortisol ).. All this happened with my Adrenals before I knew I had Lyme .. Then 3 months into my Lyme treatment the Doc took me off the HC and my Adrenals are better now ... Now the LLMD has me drinking 1 quart of water with 1/2 tsp of pink sea salt 2x a day .. Pink sea salt is very good for your Adrenals.. There is another supplement called Isocort that some people with Adrenal issues take.. My Adrenal and Thyroid issues are getting better but I still have a long way to go with the Lyme treatment before its all back to "normal" or whatever "normal" is for a Lyme patient ...
