Tempest good to hear from you
I had a health screen at my local health store yesterday- really interesting. I'm shaky again tonight. Inside it's all jittery right through to my teeth. It does seem to effect my hands and legs though as well. Anyway eerily accurate and gave me lots to think about. She said that my adrenals are the biggest problem as well as estrogen imbalance - even though I'm on estrogel and Mirena. She said my blood sugar is spiking and cortisol was too high. She also said I am low in choline and tryptophan. Both would impact on nerve function - there was loads of info - my appetite has been non existent recently and IBS flaring up.
She said all of this would contribute to increased panic as well as low B vitamins. Said the liver processes excess estrogen and that if it was struggling that would also cause surges.
Upshot was I am now taking lecithin - for liver and nerve function, B vitamins - for nerve function , magnesium citrate, chromium ( to stabilise blood sugar), milk thistle - to cleanse liver, vitamin C, extra B12, nuts and seeds for tryptophan.
I have to eliminate grapes, sit products,bananas and wine as they contribute to sugar spikes and yeast overgrowth.
I also started omega 7 for dryness down below , ginkgo for libido and milkosan for feeding good bacteria!!!
And I don't like taking tablets
She felt that I needed to increase estrogen, feed gut bacteria and support the adrenals - she said the thyroid might be a red herring!
Needless to say I spoke to private GP right afterwards and she barley commented - think I am officially labelled by her now as the crazy woman
That said I did go today to have B12 tested - just incase
I also started legal CBD oil on Monday for anxiety - am updating alternative therapies thread on any progress.
Hope you are doing ok and getting the most out of the support down there
