Well unsurprisingly another thing I tired made me feel worse. It's making me so annoyed that I send money on doctors who have great suggestions, they may even find things to treat, but I can never tolerate the treatments.
My saliva cortisol test showed very low DHEA, normal waking cortisol which crashes by midday way down low and stays that way until the next morning.
Dr M prescribed HC cream (10mg daily) which I haven't touched yet through fear of side effects and also 10mg a day of DHEA.
I started by taking the capsules apart and just putting a little tiny bit back in to see how that went and did this every other day for two weeks, gradually working up to about half a cap (roughly 5mg, buy you cant really tell) every day, for about a further week.
I was pleased because I didn't have any catastrophic effects from it, as usual neither did I flee any better. But towards the end of the trial I noticed I felt very very weepy all the time and couldn't stop crying (haven't felt like that for years) I was also very very irritable and wanted to kill everybody in sight. I decided to stop. I didn't at any point feel any better. Fatigue was also massively worse.
SO ANOTHER TREATMENTS AND LOTS OF MONEY BITES THE DUST (Sorry not shouting, caps lock on by mistake)
What have others experiences been? do I really need to take it? why does this always happen to me with everything I try, especially as im not as ill as I used to be?
My hunch is that perhaps I have some sort of chronic infection or virus that is causing all the disequilibrium in my body and that only trying to treat that will help to balance the other issues. My adrenals are not good and neither is my thyroid (subclinical hypo, but can't take meds) That is why I am going to see KDM to try and get deeper into what is happening.
All the best, Justy
