I'm hoping to hear what has helped people sort out issues with their adrenal systems, and especially the HPA axis (hypothalamus, pituitary, adrenal). I have learned from this experience that when one hormonal system is out of balance, then others tend to be as well, so it gets complicated to treat and manage.
Have you been able to balance wacky hormone levels using only adaptogens? Have you had good luck with glandular supplements? How about bioidentical hormones?
What else has helped - meditation, exercise, dietary changes?
Did you find that your hormonal issues balanced out as you treated your infections, or did the imbalances persist?
Did targeting hormonal systems make your other symptoms flare? For me, I need to raise my cortisol and progesterone, but doing either causes havoc because my system seems to be hypersensitive to any small changes in its over-stimulated state.
Thanks, everyone!
