When did you notice a change in yourself? Do you have anymore labs? cholesterol is high. whats the doc say? Why do you get drunk as hell? Are you stressed a lot? brain fog? frequent head aches? are you cold all the time? easily fatigued? any respitory infections?

When did you notice a change in yourself?
About the same time I started back in the gym, caring about my body again. Let it all slip for a while.

The doc says that I fall in the normal range for everything. Although one of my liver tests came back high, indicating a possible fatty liver. Was just one marker though.

I get drunk as hell because I have some stress (spouse job loss etc)

Brain fog: yes

Headaches: not frequent enough to remember

Not cold, unless I’m fasted with a bit of caffeine, then I’m freezing

Respiratory: No, I did quit smoking ~2 months ago now. Currently on 7mg/day NRT

Thanks!

www.adrenalfatigue.org/take-the-adrenal-fatigue-quiz

try this see how you do!!

Why doesn’t doc do abdominal ultrasound and test for hepatitis? Do you have you antibodies for hepatitis? Did doc check glucose? try and get your labs from your doctors office… when i had high liver markers i did have fatty liver but also found fatty pancreas… You need to stop drinking and take good care of your liver!! You only have one… Milk thistle will help your liver markers also I know this is hard but your going to have to change your diet… Do a Google search for fatty liver disease… Not something you want to mess with… Are you an alcoholic?

iw84aces: There is more to the lab work, I’ll get that up soon. No estrogen levels though, wasn’t requested on the test unfourtunately.

After taking the adrenal fatigue test it appears that I am in the mid range. Not severe. I find it hard to answer those questions accurately.

Doc wants to do an ultrasound for fatty liver but claims there is a low likelihood of finding an issue. I’ve been given my hepatitis shots over the years; my needle book is jammed with stickers and stamps.

I don’t think I am an alcoholic. Every 1-2 Fridays I buy a 40oz bottle of liquor and finish it with my spouse over Friday-Sunday period. Other than that I am dry all week.

Thanks
