Hello, I am still struggling in regards to my previous posts.
For some background I have discovered I have adrenaline dominance, very poor adrenal function, and cellular hypothyroidism.
I am taking supplements according to a recent HTMA I have had done.
My diet consists mainly of 6 vegetables rotated due to my SIBO and some meat/gelatin/butter. Recently I am only taking calcium/boron and magnesium, kelp/selenium and digestive enzymes.
I have very low potassium/sodium which I've been working on and very high calcification.
All day I am very tired but the adrenaline masks it and cannot walk longer than a few minutes since October now. I'm not really sure if the mineral balancing is working for me, though I have only had one retest done which I am still waiting on. I can tolerate raw honey but I think I'm also hypoglycemic, I definitely have blood sugar problems which is likely causing more adrenaline. I'm also on 15mg of hydrocortisone which i don't feel makes much of a difference when I take it, I think mostly due to the adrenaline always masking how I feel.
At first the hydrocortisone worked amazingly for a week I was on 20mg and could walk again. Not long after it started to go downhill and I thought I needed more. The original endo who prescribed me this says I don't have hypothyroidism either lol - the reason I took HC in the first place was so I could treat it with thyroid. I am on my own other than my htma practitioner. I suspect the hc could have been too stimulating for my nervous system at the time and I didn't realize. I also have copper toxicity. New drs now want me to taper off of the HC which I am trying but struggling, I do notice a drop in my mood when I don't take it - very snappy and irritable.
I'm actually trying to taper off of it as I still couldn't tolerate thyroid medication when taking it. If I try taking any thyroid I have a negative reaction within the next day. I have likely been in this state for a long period now over 2 years.
My sleep is interrupted and I wake up everyday with a pounding heart and irritability, inability to focus/low dopamine. Sometimes my body will jerk itself awake when I try to fall asleep due to the extreme stress I am guessing. My breathing is also very shallow, and it feels unnatural to breath- and I have irregular heart patterns. Cardiologist appt checked it and it was fine structurally. If anyone could point me in a direction I would appreciate it as I find it very heard to research these things due to my impaired cognitive function.
I'm contemplating B1 on it's own to try for now as my practitioner told me to avoid bvitamins as it could be too stimulating, but I have definitely have ANS dysfunction. I've also seen taurine could be promising?
Finding a competent endo has been impossible as apparently my case is not indicative on blood tests due to the nature of it being "cellular hypothyroidism", when I mention the term I am laughed at in the drs office...I have been to top of the bill endos and they all agreed it's not likely hypothyroidism causing this which I know it is as confirmed by an HTMA test and my symptoms.
Sorry if I forgot any details.
Thank you
