Birdlady,

I tried to PM you to give you my private email should I ever not be on here. Its under the user list... (You're over limit on there?)

Anyway, your condition is fascinating to me. I think you have a better grasp on what is really going on with a lot of us. I do have Andy's book and have for about 8 years give or take. I need to look it over again, though. (Those pages in particular, thank you!) I was obsessed with this issue when I first found out about it, but got busy and came on this list to get motivated to work on it again. You kind of forget over time when you don't keep learning about it. There has been progress in the subject since then, too.

Now that I think about it, I think the gray issue has been the problem. I have talked to my endo about it but only found a good one about 4 years ago. He did run some tests, but whatever he did order came back ok. And I'd been using glandulars for my pituitary, so if it was there, I was fixing it. Someone before had brought up the issue before, too, due to my inconsistent thyroid issues, but no one seemed to know what to do about it.

I wouldn't feel bad about the hair loss group. People don't want to take responsibility, I'm afraid, for their own issues sometimes. They take on more a "victim" role. I would rather feel I have some control over an issue myself. Of course I am not taking control if not chelating... or detoxing. And I need to get back to that.

That is good you are getting the medical ID bracelet. : )
