Hello All-
I have been reading the forum for quite a while.
Here is a brief profile:
61 years old
diagnosed "CFS/FM 9 years ago (had to quit work )
My symptoms were like hitting a brick wall and were not alleviated by any allopathic medical treatments such as Neurontin, sleeping pills, pain meds, etc…
Disabling Problems:
Pots (adrenageric. Tachycardia and bradycardia. Both high and low blood pressure. Hyperventilation.
Weakness & trembling, pre-syncope
Brain Fog
Sinusitis
Fibro Pain
Freezing hands & feet (take hours to warm up) I was astounded at how warm my husband's feet are
Thyroid tests NORMAL
Many others
I suspect small fiber neuropathy and perhaps mast cell activation is involved.
I discovered Ray Peat's work a few years ago, and I started integrating as many of his principles as I could by using the dietary approach for a little over a year. I started Life Extension pregnenolone 50 mgs.
Should I try try progesterone or should I just go for the thyroid? I've read the threads discussing the different brands of thyroid, but any personal experiences would help enormously.
Best to all,
Megin
