I just wanted to give an update here because I find I tend to come here during my worst times for help and I wanted to make sure I shared my "best" with you as well.
I got some incredible advice here and it helped pull me out of one of the worst crashes I've had - the advice combined with help from my doctor.
In short, I was doing really well until christmas when I experienced one of the worst crashes ever.
A month ago, I decided to go off of just about everything. I stopped taking fludrocortisone, salt pills, rhodiola, b12 injections. I stayed on atenolol, LDN, ketotifen.
I felt a bit better after going off everything and I think essentially I've determined the fludrocortisone and salt pills were having bad side effects for me.
What really changed everything for me though was the decision to pulse my b vitamins. So now I alternate the following in 3 day cycles: folinic acid, L-MTH-5 and niacin. This way, my body doesn't get used to them and they have the same incredible energy rush that they do the first day. So I've been feeling really strong energy, mental clarity, no more depression, no body/muscle aches and just all in all, I feel like I can keep up with my kids. This has been huge. I have no idea if it will last but I wanted to document while I'm feeling good.
Thanks for everyone's help.
