A question.... (Cyproterone Acetate (Diane35))
Hypoadrenia is when your adrenal glands become fatigued. This can cause many symptoms, such as low blood presure, hair loss, dehydration, brain fog, malabsorption and hormmonal imbalances, to name a few. These are all the symptoms I have, there are some others which I can't remember. Google it and you can find out the others. Most doctors don't consider hypoadrenia a true medical condition, although they used to some years back. Now, unless you have addison's disease (when your adrenal glands completely fail) they don't consider it a problem. My adrenals are functioning somewhat, although not the way they should be. Finally, I am dealing with a doctor (out of my health insurance network, naturally so it costs me plenty) who is treating me for this. She feels that I had an untreated thyroid problem, which caused my adrenals to work harder than normal to compensate for the thyroid's sluggishness, which caused my adrenals to become fatigued. It's kind of like a domino effect. I don't know exactly why its not good to take yaz or yasmin if you have adrenal problems, but I've seen it on their TV commercials ("women who have adrenal problems should not use yaz", something like that) I guess you could always look up yaz or yasmin on their website and read the fine print about the side effects. I didn't know back then that I had hypoadrenia, all I knew was that I felt ill all the time and was losing my hair. I have to say that, when I first starting taking yasmin, I did have a lot of new regrowth, but then the shed came back so I stopped using it. Probably a good thing, as far as my adrenals go. I hate b/c pills, the first one I ever took started all my health and hair problems (but that's another long story) so I really dread the thought of taking them again. Oh, just another mention: b/c pills can be bad for the adrenals in people with a susceptibility to adrenal problems. If only I knew back then what I know now, I never would have taken them in the first place. However, as I said in my previous post, I have to do something to try and improve my hair. I'd like to believe that once my health problems get fixed, my hair will too. But, I suspect that all these health issues triggered AGA and that I will need to do more for my hair than that. Sorry for the long post, I hope it helped.
