I've been taking medrol (methylprednisolone) for a year for adrenal fatigue. In fact, at the time I started it, I stopped chelation. I was seeing a specialist in metabolic medicine here, who helped me with adrenal and thyroid support.

During that whole year, no matter what I did, I never felt any better. I felt worse when I stopped chelation and flatlined all that time. I started on different meds originally, before I settled on these. They seemed to make the winter a little more bearable but that's all.

I started chelating again at the beginning of last March and felt things start to lift straight away. I've had a couple of spells of feeling "normal," which I'd never had during all the years I've been ill. I know what an adrenal crash feels like, I know what it feels like to take too much of my med, and what stress and an adrenal rush do to me; I could list all the symptoms. These "normal spells" are just that -- brief realisations of what it felt like to not be ill. With a strange sense of peace thrown in. All that awful anxiety lifts and I feel alive.

It was lovely last night, so I decided to carry on with chelation for a day or two more. I'm back to feeling rather "blah" today but every time that "normal" feeling hits me, I feel heartened. It reminds me that it's going to keep coming back, and maybe one day it will stay.
