I went low carb for about 8 months and rocked my adrenals/thyroid. I had a similar crash to the one @haidut described in Danny Roddy podcasts. With the freighting neurological symptoms and everything. I was on the couch for over a week. Had the same sinus issues as haidut also.
Now I have been on Ray peat diet for over a month and am feeling better. However my sleep schedule is being greatly disrupted. I am only able to fall asleep at 2-3 am and wake feeling not too good. I am than in a huge sludge the first half of the day, where caffeine provides lil-no relief. I wonder if my cortisol is starting to turn back on, after being fatigued for months prior to peat.
Excersise Knocks me out for for 3 days minimum. And I am only 21.
1) I have Light MPB, small horseshoe shape. My dad has it much worse.
2)After my low carb crash, I did see my doctor and got my thyroid checked because my brain fog/neurological symptoms were horrific. Everything was within range, I can provide the test, just need to find them.
3) 8 months before the crash I got my Basic blood panel. Had slightly high LDL, slightly Low HDL, High cholesterol. Which is why I went low carb.
4) I have Pretty bad tongue Thrush and dark circles under the eyes
It's just sad, considering at age 17-18 I could workout for hours during football, sleep a few hours and do it all over again, such rapid deterioration at this age. I am still in great shape with muscle and lowish BF. Just feel like crap and falling behind in studies/exercise/internships..etc.
I am taking pregnenolone
I also use nicotine quit habitually, which I am sure has an effect.
If anyone could provide any advice or help it would be greatly appreciated.
I believe I suffer from Low cortisol/Aldestrone deficeny.
Has anyone heard of the pupil mirror test. Where you shine a light on the pupil in a dark bathroom and if the pupil flucuates or fails to constrict you suffer from aldesterone deficeny( to much potassium, not enough salt). I have been doing this test over the last few months and continue to fail it. Is this test valid?
Thanks for any help,
