Well from what I have read, diagnosing pituitary problems is very difficult unless your pituitary isn't working at all or working way too much. Conventional medicine is terrible at diagnosing people within the gray area and most people operate in the gray area. I'm thankful to have found a doctor that is really good, but he's really far away from you. haha
If you don't have Dr. Cutler's book, I recommend grabbing a copy. There is so much information jammed in here and I quite often list off page numbers. =) A lot of my info has come from his book. Some symptoms I have, I never knew were related to mercury poisoning. You will likely find the same.
On pages 113-114 in the book, he talks a lot about the pituitary. Your adrenal problems may not lie with the adrenals themselves, but with the pituitary producing inadequate ACTH when responding to stress.
Let's say your doctor does finally do tests to see what is wrong, if your pituitary or hypothalamus isn't working right then finding the appropriate dosage will be VERY difficult. Instead of treating the 2nd in command like a thyroid, you are trying to treat the brains of the operation. It will be tough to know exactly what you need and when. For me some days I take 1 spray and know it was too much. Others I need 2 sprays. You'll have to play with dosages and see how you feel. Treat the person not the lab work as they say.
Insomnia could be caused by a lot of things, but it is listed in the book as one of the first physical symptoms of mercury poisoning (page 26).
I am glad I can help you at least begin to do a more thorough investigation. Most people don't like to hear my thoughts, research or advice, so I am very thankful for you. Not many people have an open mind these days. They are so set in their ways, they don't want to hear anything new.
The hair loss forum basically banned me from posting on there. I guess talking about mercury toxicity wasn't allowed. I was saying that vaccines can have mercury in them and they didn't like that. Oh well those ladies won't have hair and mine will grow back completely. They must love their miserable lives.
Is it like you can't hold water in your system? You should definitely get a medical bracelet. Does your medication help you hold onto your water?? Is your blood glucose also affected??
Yes that is it exactly. My body just won't hold water without the medication. With the medication my urination is slowed down drastically and my thirst is much better. My blood glucose is not affected whatsoever. I have never had any problems with that, but I think watching what I eat helps. You have to avoid high fructose corn syrup at all cost. That stuff totally messes up glucose levels.
I threw out my aluminum based deodorants a few years ago. It's hard finding something that works now, but I make due. There are a lot of different deodorants at health food stores, but you'll probably need to try a handful until you find one you like.
I'm going to stop what I am doing right now and order a medical bracelet. This is long overdue.
Thanks Jeanie for listening to me. I can be a little long winded when I get going. lol
