806806 tn?1239513014 ve been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, Chronic fatigue, adrenal fatigue and a pituitary microadenoma. Oh yea, depression too. I feel like **** at least 90% of my days. I get overwhelmed very easily, any stress to me can put me down for the day. Stress to me lately can be the phone ringing too much or traffic etc. Is there anyone with any advice on what to check or questions to ask. I'm wasting away.
Avatar n tn Medhelp also has a Fibromyalgia/CFS forum and an expert forum for these as well. If you're not a fan of pharmaceuticals, I can certainly understand that. I have Fibromyalgia myself. The symptoms one has to deal with lead to the depression. It's very difficult to find a physician who understands what we're dealing with. I probably have CFS, too, since sometimes I deal with a lot more fatigue than I do pain.
Avatar f tn When the adrenals are stressed over long time, adrenal fatigue sets in and next thing that happens is that the adrenals force a low thyroid environment for adrenal recovery. Between these two conditions, a variety of symptoms can be present, including the ones you have mentioned. Look into Functional Adrenal Stress profile from BioHealth Labs -FYI only- and you may also look into Dr. Barnes Basal Temperature Test for thyroid function.
Avatar f tn You could have Fibromyalgia or an Under active thyroid (Hypothyroidism) have a look on the Internet and you will find most of your symptoms are listed in both of these medical issues. I suffer from both and there is medication and treatment. An Underactive Thyroid can be tested for in a blood test and you can get a hormone replacement and you are usually on it for life. In the UK this prescription is free.
Avatar f tn When I was first sick (5 years ago), before the diagnosis of Fibro and Chronic Fatigue, I had a friend who brought up the adrenal thing to me but I just put my trust in my doc and let her test me for what she felt I needed. She has never mentioned adrenals. Should I bring it up to her? What should I be watching for? Maybe THIS is what's wrong with me and with treatment I might feel better.
Avatar f tn But when I became the age of 30 I started having problems with a lot of pain, fatigue and I had problems sleeping at night. I was dx with fibromyalgia, I also always had problems with allergies, I would constantly break out in hives. At that time My doctor put me on medication for fibromyalgia and I was on it for a while but I didn't really notice a difference. I just felt zombielike so I stopped taking the medicine.
4861077 tn?1360156139 You are one of the few who have offered positive feedback, when it comes to uncovering those underlying layers, like adrenal and thyroid issues (and the flawed tests/treatments), associated with FMS and a long list of other conditions! I commend you for having the determination and perseverance to go through all these steps and get to the bottom of things in order to experience sustainable improvement. It is very refreshing, indeed and I do hope that you come and visit often.
Avatar n tn I have been steadily gaining weight since she prescribed cortef 10mg and Armour thyroid 30mg 2x day with continued fatigue and exhaustion. After several years, I was informed if there may or may not be underlying thyroid conditon. I struggle with many other potential symptoms such as fatigue, cold extremities, dry skin. My endocrinologist does not want to try me on synthroid. She firmly believes in Armour.
16615961 tn?1454420087 I did some digging and a preliminary questionaire on adrenal fatigue and I appreciate the information. The preliminary pointed strongly towards adrenal issues and I got some guidance from another member to get on the right path towards healthy living. I just wanted to thank you for your assistance and knowledge on my situation.
922048 tn?1387942584 At age 28, after suffering for many years, I was diagnosed with lupus and fibromyalgia and put on low dose prednisone and anti-inflammatories. I only stayed on pred for a few months (5-10mg). Then at age 41, was diagnosed with Hashimoto's. Doctor said my thyroid function was fine, though. (But of course it was very much NOT fine. I was having tons of hypo symptoms!) Now after spending a fair amount of time reading up on AF, I am certain that I have pretty severe AF.
Avatar m tn Adrenal insufficiency can be caused from damage to the adrenal glands, a non working pituitary gland due to tumor or infection, or hypothalamic dysfunction which prevents a signal going to the pituitary gland to in turn signal the adrenal glands to work. Adrenal insufficiency has many faces and differing symptoms with different causes but overall the end result is the same.
Avatar m tn I have been having problems with hypoglycemia and I was also have fatigue for the past couple months - my arms and legs felt tired and I feel like I was craving sleep. My doctor found my TSH was 9.8 (5.4 high limit normal). All other blood panel items were normal including fasting insulin. He started me on 50mg levothyroxine. 2 days after I started taking levothyroxine, I felt like I had ALOT of energy, more than I've had in years. I've felt this way for 2 weeks.
Avatar f tn Unfortunately we see a subset if patients with interstitial Cystitis who have a whole group of other inflammatory and/or pain disorders and hypersensitivities like fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. If you have pelvis pain, pressure or discomfort related to bladder filling, associated with urinary frequency and/or urgence you may have IC. You do need to see a Urologist that specializes in female urology, or Urogynecologist.
