I'd like to start another thread for you to get advice on - that way others will be more likely to comment as well.
For those that wish to see what was asked and what Wildmoonchild shared before this, see this thread, page 3:
www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=30&m=3244272&p=3 Here is what Wildmoonchild is doing now:
Currently I am on doxycycline 100 2Xdaily (I've been taking it for only a month and a handful of days now)
I take pregnenolone (because of weird hormonal issues)
cruciferous complete( for breakdown of hormones and toxins)
probiotics vitamin d3 (though I still don't know one way or the other if this is a good idea?)
methylcolbalamine b vitamin complex
hydrocortisone 2x daily.
I've been doing detox baths per instructions in introduction page for the last few days, drink lemon juice water daily and the dandelion milk thistle tea occasionally because it also has Echinacea (which I've read you aren't supposed to take if you have an autoimmune disorder like hashimotos but since I've started the abx my thyroid went back to normal size so I don't know if it would matter or not at this point)
I also do daily dry brushing ever morning and when I feel okayish I practice yoga.
Mostly my symptoms are heart related, or blood pressure related. Dizzy, lightheaded can't take a full breath, moments of feeling like an alien is going to pop out of my chest.
but sometimes I get strange vibrations, pains or what feels like popping all over my body especially when I try to sleep. I have come to dread bed time and stay up way too late sometimes reading or writing (which I know is counter productive for adrenal fatigue) When I do try to sleep I get terrible anxiety, when I close my eyes I see terrible things (think weird and disturbing) and sometimes hear my name being called. If I fall asleep I will shoot out of bed at the slightest noise or movement and scream (my poor husband lol). The worst though is the heart issues, it either is pounding in an erratic way or it will feel like it isn't beating at all and I get really lightheaded. Sometimes my whole body will tense and I will start shaking and my teeth with chatter while my heart races with terrible chills, it's very frightening for my son so I try to get to my room and lay on the floor so he doesn't have to witness it.
So basically everything I went through before treatment but worse.

Here is my answer to your last set of questions:
With adrenal issues, you shouldn't use any coffee. I know that it's said that you don't absorb any of the caffeine, but with adrenal issues, it's so important to avoid all caffeine!
Oil pulling is no big deal if you use a light oil. I like using a good quality coconut oil as it's light and has very little flavor. You use about
2 tsps of oil and swish it around your mouth and "pull" it between the teeth like you would mouthwash for about
10 minutes - then spit it out into the trash - not the sink or toilet as it will solidify and then clog up the sink or toilet!
Are you taking anything for your adrenals? Sounds like you should be.
For sleep, are you taking any magnesium yet? You didn't mention taking any. Start off with a low dose and build up slowly. Magnesium oxide will mainly pull water into the intestines, so be careful with that. There are many types of magnesium though and everyone seems to have a different opinion on what type is best to use.
If that isn't enough help, then you can try melatonin - again, start off with a very low dose and build up.
And again - keep the questions coming!! Everyone has to learn this stuff to heal.
