Dont worry its not in your head, thats bull_____ for we are too stupid to figure out the problem. I had 30 symptoms of AF at one time MDs in general treat symptoms not the problem.

Hi every one ,I got a little bit confused about AF.Is a condition when the adrenal glands function below necessary level.So does it mean that when we have a test done the cortisol level is low?In My case the cortisol level and DHEA are way to high ,so can I say that I suffer from AF or it is totally different story.I posted My saliva test results before in one of My posts,if any one can look at them and try to explain what they mean.thank you very much. 1,120 hits

Since starting iodine I have gained around 25 pounds. Initially around 15 pounds and held still at that weight for several months and recently I have gained another 10 or so. At first I attributed it to the iodine, but now I am convinced that it has more to do with stress and AF. I am extremely stressed right now and my AF has gotten much worse, and hence, my weight has gone up.Although I have increased my iodine dosage again very recently, I dont think it has anything to do with the weight gain. 1,877 hits

(hormone aldosterone responsible for this)The symptoms you described also point to AF.You may try pupil test. Most probably you will see typical AF reaction.
