Hi Marianne.
I did get my tests back and I had my conference with Dr. S this morning. She said I had the "worst type of metabolism," and "it only gets worse." So, I have a long road ahead of me of strict adherance to the SP II diet, supplementation I will find out about in my conference with her nutritionist tomorrow morning, HRT. I have an overall cortisol level of 10 and 23 is minimum normal. She said my parasympathetic nervous system is completely shut down, and my sympathetic nervous system is on all the time on overdrive. She emphasized this is beyond my control, and thinking positive or any of the stress release things we do would be useless. I am to do EMDR to recover from the trauma I have been thru before my adrenals will start healing. Not great news, but now I know. Thank you for writing me.
Carolyn
