Hi Nicola,, I apprecaite what you're saying and certainly it would seem pretty evident my adrenals/thyroid are under continual strain. I've had many things occur in the past that has caused long term problems for me, alongside and outside the mercury and I've not been ok since.

I haven't been able to recover or overcome anything anymore and maybe that's why. I don't know.

My doctor wants me on this stuff called goji juice and to monitor me and see how much it helps, she thinks it's rather wonderful stuff, so I wnat to give it a go, but I won't hold my breath.

I'm keeping the thyroid/adrenals very much in mind, but I am very financially strained right now and trying not to take on too many supplements at once, till I can pay off my credit card and get on top of things.

I am thankful for everybody to point this out so clearly because I am definitely thinking this may well be what's happening and why I cam't seem to bounce back when something goes wrong.

So i'll take steps for the testing etc, but will keep you posted if the goji juice does anything miraclous (yeah right...).
