Symptoms

• I spent 10 days at 8000 feet running and mountain biking. I could only do about half of what I typically do, and I was totally fatigued and debilitated the entire time. I didn't lose a single pound. This is like nothing I have ever experienced before.
• My doctor upped my dose of Nature-Thyroid by a quarter grain. After the increased dosage I had blood sugar problems, depression, anxiety and fear. I backed down and I started to feel better. Do you think it could be my adrenals that made me feel so bad?
• How do I improve low energy, joint and muscle pain, and pressure headaches?
• I experience increased weakness and low blood sugar during moderate exercise, mainly walking. I eat strictly Paleo and very little sugar, so I don't think it is caused by the food I am eating. What else can cause reactive hypoglycemia?
• I’ve tried several thyroid medications and I’m still struggling with energy, brain fog etc. I am concerned that I could have Schmidt Syndrome or another endocrine issue. What is your view on the ACTH STIM testing to reveal the full adrenal response?
• I started taking T4 only medications and experienced hypoglycemia, weight gain, gastritis, felt faint, had bloating and kidney problems, and my urine had blood in it. I have the same side effects on all thyroid medications. What could be causing this?
• I am currently taking 1 grain Westhroid in the morning, a half a grain before lunch, and 50 mg LDN at night. I still have fatigue in afternoons, but mental fog, irritability, insomnia have diminished. What can I do to help the fatigue?
• What could be the cause of morning fatigue?
• My period is very scant, and my menses only last for 2 days. They are also darker in color than they used to be, and I have no libido at all. What does this suggest?
• I have brain fog, fatigue and trouble sleeping. What additional testing would help me with these symptoms?
• What could cause dark circles under the eyes?
• I have symptoms of bloating, burping, gas, constipation, fatigue and leg pain. My symptoms are marked in morning until about 1pm, then they decrease. I have no energy and cannot do household work. Does this suggest adrenal fatigue?
• I have mental fog in the mornings and early afternoon, which goes away by late afternoon or evening. It started 2 years ago when I was on estrogen/progesterone. My progesterone shot up this summer, and my estrogen was low. What could be causing this?
• Will I still have energy in Stage 2 adrenal fatigue? How should I treat this?
• My doctor suggested hydrocortisone for two months, after which we will test everything again. Why did I feel better with the cortisol?
• Do you have any idea why I might be having night sweats? I stopped taking my DHEA and pregnenolone because I am going to do the adrenal function test.
• I have frequent breakouts, what could the cause be?
