Hi there...
I thought I'd show my fellow HH sufferers some love by posting the current result of my epic quest :roll: to find out what is causing HH, which really, this site is all about...
I haven't really screened everything because it's accumulated sites from months of looking after it added to my favourites (which is bad). Sometimes it might be the same information twice, but I'm sure many of you will find some interesting things in there. I figured, since the explanation most medics give is 'the autonomic nervous system is overactive' I'd look at some things that might go wrong with important separate elements of that nervous system, for instance the pituitary gland or the adrenal glands.
In most cases docs only look at the thyroid gland and neglect the others which might be a mistake.
In case of pheochromocytoma I would look at the CNN reference...quite clean cut info, and most things you need to know are in there.
I hope this could help some of us...Or a medical student who needs to quickly write an essay...here you go everything is right there
