I just did this new test here

http://www.integrativepsychiatry.net/neuroadrenal_profile.html

its covered by some insurances which is great!!

It tests four cortisol times for adrenals and then it ALSO tests bunch of neurotransmitters

Well i have had terrible insomnia and weight gain,

my test showed very very low neurotransmitters which makes sense why i have the symptoms,

But without epinephrine they say you cannot produce cortisol, and without seritonin you cannot sleep and will crave sweets and so on

Anyways, I am taking a few products from the site and will keep you posted if I have success because my nutritionist is having really good results. But without this test, he did not realize everything was THAT LOW. By building these up it will help the body fight lyme hopefully.

yeah I'm not sure which ones are prescribed yet

but if you're using cortef there is no reason for your adrenals to turn back on so I'm confused, I know some have to take it, I tried it and just got worse so it was not for me

i guess i'll see if it helps

It takes time to see improvement plus you have to retest every few months to see if you need to re-adjust your supplements.

In general, it takes a long time to get this kind of situation back to normal.
