I'm up for a double amydalectomy and adrenalectomy. These are worth as much to me as an appendix.

Life without adrenals is not good.

Are you serious? You would have your amygdala removed?

Sure, why not. Personnaly, the idea of a "fear" center of the brain doesn't really sound all that great to me.

Cortisone to tx adrenals when they quit functioning or is it ACTH? Fondly, Phillipa

Not sure. I know that animals that've had an adrenalectomy show *dramatically* enhanced neurogenesis. I think the main culprit in my recovery is darned cortisol inhibiting neurogenesis.
