*Current Symptoms"
I seem to nod my head at every thyroid, low test and adrenal fatigue symptom.
-Fatigue (All the time. Takes and hour to wake up. Need naps at noon. Walking and talking slow. Sometimes feels hard to move. This has been going on for years.)
-Mind is always foggy (As long as I can remember)
-Wired at night time. Mind races. (As long as I can remember)
-Increased sensitivity to cold (Recently. Seems I’m the only dude who gets cold)
-Sleep never feels good
-Dry skin
-Puffy face (I do have puffy face days)
-Hoarseness (Have a had a very deep voice for a while. Sylvester Stallone ish. Some days more so than others)
-Muscle weakness (Do not feel strong under the bar anymore)
-Pain, stiffness or swelling in your joints (Recently)
-Thinning hair (Recently)
-Slowed heart rate
-Depression (Been depressed for a long time)
-Impaired memory (A well knows fact about me in social circles)
-Dark rings under eyes (Had these forever)
-A yellowish tint to the skin (Could be my natural skin color. Although some days I am very pale)
-Salt and sugar cravings at night
-Feelings of apathy (Very long time)
These are not exaggerated. Some things I thought were personality traits that I now think are symptoms of something. Bottom line is I am getting tired of it. I don’t feel good. I haven’t for a very long time but I never had insurance or money to figure it out(still don’t) I just thought everybody lived likes this.
A pharmacist friend of mine firmly believes that I have adrenal fatigue. We tested my morning cortisol ( attached) expecting to find something. Sure enough the morning we tested I felt fine. Woke up without an alarm clock and had a great day. Timing was awful. Despite the normal results he still believes that adrenal fatigue is the culprit.
I’ve began a little supplement routine. (Magnesium, zinc, vit-c, licorice, DIM, grape seed extract, inositol, lots of fish oil, and b vitamins) I only recently discover this forum and the iodine recommendation. Will add to routine and post progress as well as temp readings.
My lifestyle is somewhat stressful I guess. Nothing I would complain about though. I work 40-50 hours a week (good job but demanding) and have a sick mother. But I am very apathetic to most things. Try not to let things get me down.
My bloodwork and saliva test are attached. I didn’t want to discuss them in my post because my opinion about it doesn’t really matter and I haven’t had any others besides the pharmacist. The only thing I can say is that I think my testosterone is to low and despite the results, believe I have some sort of underlying thyroid issue. I just don’t to assume things.
I would appreciate any feedback. I really am at my wits end here. I can’t afford to see doctors and the testing has emptied my wallet for several months to come. Thanks to anyone who takes a look.
If you need any more info please let me know.
