The more I observe my symptoms, the more it seems I have developed venous insufficiency, or peripheral artery disease.
My symptoms:
-Standing up hurts. I need to walk otherwise my legs feel odd, weak, achy.
-I used to have edemas on my feet after playing sports like soccer, but it's been a year since I last had them.
-Socks used to leave indent after I removed them. For around a year. As I'm freaking out, I spent the last 2 months increasing my cardio training, running 3/4 times a week. It seems that these socks indents subsided.
-Loss of appetite (I used to be incredibly hungry)
-Feeling tired all the time, eating sometimes put me on a semi-coma state where I need to lay down for 2 hours before being able to be active again
-I had severe hair loss when these symptoms first appeared. It stopped and it seems that it's slowly growing back.
-Playing soccer, I used to be fast, endurant. I just feel so weak on the pitch. Sometimes having to stop playing because I just can't continue.
These symptoms appeared a year ago. The possible causes are likely to be the HCG protocol I followed for 7 months, followed by a quick 1 week low dose proviron. At the same time, I did not sleep much, had a sedentary lifestyle, and smoked cigars occasionally. In retrospect it seems completely absurd to mix these unhealthy lifestyle components together. I had been overly confident and I'm paying a hefty price for it unfortunately. So this combo seemed to have brought me where I am today.
Trying to keep a positive outlook, the fact that the socks indents subsided after one year of suffering from them is a net positive. As well as the edemas.
I will visit a cardiologist next month to perform an doppler ultrasound and a ankle brachial index.
But honestly, I am scared. Every doctors/clinics is saying that these veinous diseases can't be reversed.
Could anyone recommend anything or share his experience?
