Hi Nicola, nice to see you here again.

Funnily enough, I was also reporting my test results on my Withdrawal and Recovery list and saying that if I had adrenal fatigue before, then the drugs made it worse. I suspect that even if your adrenals are healthy beforehand, the drugs screw them up. This will be obvious to anyone who's taken the damn things.

Thanks for remembering that. Adrenal fatigue might explain some of the lingering withdrawal effects. But the real mystery for me is why I got ill in the first place, before I'd been on any drugs, before all of the chelation etc. One thing at a time though I guess. I feel that diet and chelation -- and now antifungals as well -- are what I know how to do, and what work well for me. I'm going to keep up with them. I brought enough DMSA and Algin over from the US to keep me in supply for a few more months yet anyway. I thought I'd add the ALA back in today, see what happened, and I actually feel noticeably better for it. Not sure what that means.

Thanks for the positive thoughts, I hope things are looking up!
