Hello b808!
I have been able to find a balance between my thyroid medications (Synthroid and Cytomel) and HRT (estrogen and progesterone...both synthetic and bioidentical) that seems to work to keep my “nighttime adrenal rushes” under control. I completely agree with you that it is a hormonal issue. I can even affect mine nighttime “rushes” by the foods I choose to eat in the evening (pasta actually helps me sleep through the night). I hope you are able to do more research, and update us again, if you discover anything interesting. Best of luck to you 🙂

Mahalo for your support and feedback. I’m glad to hear that your doing a little better. I have changed my diet to more of a paleo style, I’ve been doing a lot of self care as well as exercising to try and eliminate it while we wait for answers, although all I can do is walk as jogging or running leaves me short of breathe. We thought it may have been perimenopause as my mother and my aunt both started early 30’s. I’m 34 and currently on a BiEst cream 80/20 to try and bring up my estrogen level, I agree this all has to do with hormone imbalances and can be tricky. And I don’t believe perimenopause can cause adrenaline rushes 24/7 all day long. Since we have looked into pitiuary gland, thyroid and adrenal gland we are going to do a urine mold test to see if I’ve been around mold exposure. I have not seen an endocrinologist as of yet do to flying restrictions and quarantine, the only endo we have is on another island that I would need to fly to and from. That will be my next step if the mold exposure comes back negative. My doctor is not able to explain to me why my DHEA-S is double the normal high range, or why my estrogen is in a menopause state, (my OB says my estrogen color is normal and no signs of perimenopause) or why my cortisol spikes in the morning super high then crashes but does the opposite the next day.. I will update next month with my mold/urine test for everyone.

Mahalo and have a blessed day!
