> Tom - Were you quite tall as a young child and then ended up shorter than >siblings or other family members?

Well, I was never short for my age.  I seemed to be an early grower as I was one of the taller ones in middle school, yet I was average height by the time I was a sophomore.  My mom is 5’3" and my dad is 6’3" and I’m 6’0".  It’s really hard to determine height abnormalities for me because 1) I have no siblings and 2) Since there’s such a big difference in height between my two parents, I could’ve been anywhere from 5’7" tall to 6’4" tall and it would’ve probably been considered normal.  I have a big shoe size (12) but my hand size is relatively small (even smaller than my mom’s!). 

> Do you have a lot of headaches?

Fortunately, no.  I have never really gotten headaches except for when I was really sick. 

> Low bloodpressure goes with adrenal problems

Medically defined, it might not be low, but it runs anywhere from 110/50 to 130/70 and the lower it goes the worse I feel.

> Problems with dizziness and staring off into space?

No.

Thanks again for your concern.  I probably wouldn’t even realize that something’s wrong except for the fact that everything went downhill so quickly.  I went from feeling great in the Summer of ’99 to feeling like complete crap in the Spring of ’00 and that "crappy feeling" hasn’t completely let up since then.  Definately something wrong.
