However the 4th hormone level is still significantly below minimum, even for my age, etc. which has me concerned. I'm thinking of considering another cause/reason for this, so I'll have to spend some time "digging in" (so to speak).

I'm still somewhat in awe of how much better I'm feeling/coping with the pain, yet still wondering how much better still things could/might be if I could get that 4th level within normal range.

I have to say that this therapy has proven (IMO) to be a qualified success -- VERY worthwhile -- and I encourage any/every chronic/intractable pain patient to get their adrenal hormone levels tested as per Dr. Tennant's articles/recommendations (See Post #1 of this thread or Post #12 in the Useful Sites & Resources "Sticky" thread).

This therapy has worked better for me than any other Pain Mangement Therapy tried. Q.E.D.

Best wishes, and less pain!

Doc
