I have been wondering if it would be worth it to me to see an endo.. my pots and me symptoms are so much worse during my time of the month!
-dizziness
-food allergies
-exhausted after eating
-legs feel like they have constant lactic acid
-HR even higher than normal
-itchy skin and bumps
-memory problems
Anyway, I've been hormone tested like 3 times this year for different issues. My dhea is low. I have polycystic ovaries from insulin resistance. Which insulin resistance can cause mast cell issues , i.e. allergies.
I saw an allergist today, he'd never heard of dao. He was suspicious when I tried linking OI to allergies. Even though it's pots I thought I'd be listened to easier saying oi. And I don't have an official diagnosis of pots or me because I live in the midwest.
I've had echoes, ekgs, pulmonary function tests, cts, a rheumatologist tested me for everything. They can't find anything but they do acknowledge my symptoms. However still don't diagnose me or refer me where I want to go. I don't think they know where I should go. So I am going back to the cardiovascular I saw with hopes she will diagnose me.
Sorry for the rant. I guess I'm also hoping one of you also is in the midwest and have had better success and can point me in a better direction. But also the main question for now is should I see an endo? Would hormone help even help?
*Edited to say* rheumatologist didn't find anything specific but said, "you definitely have something autoimmune going on"
