I have the homeopathic DHEA I started taking from time-to-time... I’m interested in your adrenal issue; I have been totally unable to drop one single pound, even with a healthy low carb diet and exercise three times a week for an hour, my Rheumatologist tested and turned out my GP had lowered my thyroid way too low, so he increased it and we re-tested in a month, it came up, but not enough and still no weight loss, so I had an ultrasound the other day and the tech asked if I’ve ever had radiation treatment ( I have not) because she couldn’t find any thyroid tissue and she only sees that in patients who’ve had radiation... anyway, that has sort of thrown me for a loop... I’m supposed to be tested for Hashimoto’s before my next Dr. visit and did read the antibodies from Hashimoto can destroy the thyroid gland, but she said people with Hashimoto usually have an enlarged thyroid not no thyroid... anyway, I’ve been debating if I should go over to California and see a Endocrinologist.... especially before Obama says I can’t ~LOL~

Get all the health care while you have the chance. Who knows what the next few years are going to bring. I have a pituitary problem. Which affects all the glands of the body. So my thyroid doesn't work good. My problem was the docs fixed my thyroid problem before they realized it had affected my adrenals. It's better if you get the adrenal function up before the thyroid. Sounds like you might not have a functioning thyroid at all? It ends up being a viscous cycle. First your thyroid goes, can take weeks to months, to sometimes years before that problem is discovered. By then your adrenals take over when your thyroid isn't working or isn't working right. Then the adrenals get fatigued from doing all that work and just poop out.
