It's been a while since I have been here. Sorry.
I was getting much better there for a while, but things have taken a turn for the worse for me. I am now almost completely bed ridden and sicker then I have ever been.
Yesterday (Saturday) – I met with a Navy Doctor. He told me that I have CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome).
So I looked up this disorder online and it appears that is indeed what I have.
I had always thought that CFS was simply undiagnosed hypothyroidism, but this cannot be the case.
Is there any treatment for chronic fatigue syndrome?
My TSH is rising now to 3.33 – the highest that it’s ever been.
I am on 30 to 35mg of hydrocortisone (cortisol) – but I am still getting sicker by the day though.
I cannot tolerate Armour or any thyroid medicines, so I quit them. They make me sicker.
My T3 and T4 are not bad at all: Free T3 is: 3.9 (range 2.3 – 4.2) Free T4 is: 1.44 (range .61 -1.76)
I tested high for Candida IgM Antibody: 11 (range 0 – 10)
My aldosterone is VERY HIGH at: 50 (range 2 – 21) - Suggesting possibly an adrenal tumor, which could also explain why my DHEA, Testoserone and Cortisol are all very low.
My Ferritin is low too at: 43 (range 10 – 291) – but strangely a few months ago my ferritin and all iron panels were way too high, now I am borderline anemic.
Something is terribly wrong and nobody is hearing me. I am screaming for help and nobody is listening to me. What do I do now? I feel like I am dying……I really do.
I tested negative for Hashimoto’s.
I am so lost now, lately, it seems that all I can do is to lay in bed most of the days -- with no energy to care for my 2 small children at all. My husband is ready to pack his bags and leave me now, just when I need him the most. I have seen 16 doctors now and wasted so much money.
Is there any hope out there? I am too weak now to fight anymore. I need help some guidance or something to hold onto.
I am very sick right now, in pain and tired, very tired all of the time, bed ridden 23 hours of the day.
Right now I am only on cortisol. I quit all the vitamins and herbs because they were not helping me and I am too tired to swallow all of those pills everyday.
