Kan binyrene være årsaken?

[Thomas W H]

Binyre-trøtthet kan definitivt være årsaken! (Eller "årkaken", alt ettersom hvordan man ser det. Hehe!! Måtte bare le litt der...)

Og ja, man kan utvikle binyre-trøtthet som følge av at man har tatt syntetisk stoffskiftehormon (T4), fordi dette ikke har virket tilfredsstillende nok for kroppen. Man kan også utvikle binyre-trøtthet av Hypotyreosen alene. Eller man kan bare få det av stress. Men som oftest henger disse to sykdommene sammen. Har man Hypotyreose, er man svært utsatt for å pådra seg binyre-trøtthet også.

Noen av symptomene på binyre-trøtthet er:

* Tendency to gain weight and unable to loose it, especially around the waist.
* High frequency of getting the flu and other respiratory diseases and these symptoms tend to last longer than usual.
* Tendency to tremble when under pressure.
* Reduced sex drive.
* Lightheaded when rising from a laying down position.
* Unable to remember things.
* Lack of energy in the mornings and also in the afternoon between 3 to 5 pm.
* Feel better suddenly for a brief period after a meal.
* Often feel tired betweeen 9 - 10 pm, but resist going to bed.
* Need coffee or stimulants to get going in the morning.
* Crave for salty, fatty, and high protein food such as meat and cheese.
* Increase symptoms of PMS for women; period are heavy and then stop, or almost stopped on the 4th day, only to start flow again on the 5th or 6th day.
* Pain in the upper back or neck with no apparent reasons.
* Feels better when stress is relieved, such as on a vacation.
* Difficulties in getting up in the morning
* Lightheaded
* Mild depression
* Food and or inhalant allergies
* Lethargy and lack of energy
* Increased effort to perform daily tasks
* Decreased ability to handle stress
* Dry and thin skin
* Hypoglycemia
* Low Body Temperature
* Nervousness
* Palpitation
* Unexplained hair loss
* Alternating constipation and diarrhea
* Dyspepsia


Noen av årsakene til binyre-trøtthet er:

* Anger
* Chronic fatigue
* Chronic illness
* Chronic infection
* Chronic pain
* Depression
* Excessive exercise
* Fear and guilt
* Gluten intolerance
* Low blood sugar
* Mal-absorption
* Mal-digestion
* Toxic exposure
* Severe or chronic stress
* Surgery
* Late hours
* Sleep deprivation
* Excessive Exercise
* Excessive sugar in diet
* Excessive caffeine intake from coffee and tea
* Smoking tobacco
* Drinking alcohol

Og så litt om hvorfor binyre-trøtthet ikke er noe leger vet/kan noe om:

"Why Conventional Medicine Missed

Despite sub-clinical adrenia with its various stages was recognized as a distinct clinical syndrome since the turn of the 20th century, most doctors are unfamiliar with this condition for the simple reason that it is difficult to diagnose effectively by traditional blood test. Normal blood tests are designed to detect severe absolute deficiency of adrenal hormones known as Addison's disease. This disease afflicts only 4 out of 100,000 and is often the result of auto-immune disease (Edit: Hypotyreose) or infectious origin. Blood tests are also useful to detect extreme excessive levels of adrenal hormones in a condition known as Cushing's disease.

Adrenal hormones are low in the case of Adrenal fatigue, but still within the "normal" range and not low enough to warrant the diagnosis of Addison's disease by regular blood tests. In fact, your adrenal hormones can be half of the optimum level and still be labeled "normal";. Such "normal" level of adrenal hormones does not mean that the patient is free from adrenal fatigue. Conventional doctors are not taught the significance of sub-clinical adrenal fatigue. They are misguided by blood tests which are not sensitive enough to detect sub-clinical adrenia. As a results, patients tested for adrenal functions are told they are "normal" but in reality, their adrenal glands are performing sub-optimally, with clear signs and symptoms as the body cries out for help and attention.

Adrenal fatigue afflicts more people than Addison's disease. It is not recognized and has become an epidemic of massive proportion. To truly diagnose adrenal fatigue, more sensitive laboratory testing and meticulous detail to a complete history is required."

En saliva-prøve er dermed det eneste man kan bruke for å diagnosere binyre-trøtthet. Enkelte kan også ha det selv med normale saliva-prøver, man må hovedsajelig gå etter symptomer, akkurat som med Hypotyreose.

Jeg tror at den konstante stress-følelsen du har er binyre-trøtthet. Eneste måte å finne ut av det på er som sagt å ta en saliva-prøve.

Binyre-trøtthet er noe som går de aller, aller fleste leger hus og hauger forbi. Jeg har aldri møtt eller hørt om en lege i Norge som kan NOE om binyre-trøtthet. Jeg måtte som sagt utenlands for å få hjelp for dette. De fleste leger i Norge går kun etter diagnosene "Addisons" eller "Cushings", som kun dekker 5% av alle tilfellene med binyre-problemer.

Det er en rå og iskald verden vi lever i... Vi må nesten bare hjelpe hverandre, og finne ut så mye vi kan om vår egen helse, hver for oss. En for alle, alle for en. Vi som er her inne i hvertfall!

Jeg vil virkelig prøve å informere så mange som mulig om disse tingene. Jeg vil ikke misvise. Men i ditt tilfelle, Carro, så tror jeg at det virkelig ligger noe i binyrene dine. Du har trolig Hypotyreose med påfølgende binyre-trøtthet.
