On this thread I told I was getting improvements from 5HTP. I still do; I'm taking it once a week and after every dose I get acute worsening followed by improvement in my baseline.
Anyways, 5HT2C induces vasopressin and fluoxetine is even known for its ability to cause SIADH. I get much less urine output since I started 5HTP and I get thirsty much less frequently. Intolerance (fatigue) to animal protein can be explained by incrase in blood flow to the stomach after eating meal, more effect if it's a dense food.
I'm not sure if it's hypovolemia or hypervolemia, it could be either. My blood tests show low creatinine (every one of them), high eGFR (this too), and the last test showed high sodium and chloride. Low troponine also. It seems like all my problems are symptom of electrolyte (thus volume) imbalance in my body. Orthostatic intolerance is a sign of this and I have OS too.
Creatinine: 0.77 (0.9-1.3)
HS Troponine: <5.6 (14-43)
Chloride: 107 (98-107)
Sodium: 145 (136-145)
These two symptoms especially lead me first to thinking this
Any ideas? @redsun @yerrag

DISCUSSION: People with ME/CFS can have hypervolemia and not low blood volume
Hi everyone, After my original post, research and ideas Is ME/CFS caused by biological stress and perpetuated by high catecholamines and low blood volume? I have a major update and turn around on this topic, apologies for not writing sooner it took many months to figure out what has been going...

DISCUSSION: Fatigue, shortness of breath, etc.
Hi all, Its been like 5 years of fatigue and its getting worse... There is nothing on blood tests and doctors have no idea too. Endocrinologist confirmed CFS and proposed that I try synthetic AVP hormone which I refuse to do. Fatigue and breathing problems are ruining my life... Some background...

These two symptoms especially lead me first to thinking this
- A bounding pulse, you feel your heart beating hard and at certain times with each pulse the blood movement actually shakes your head or upper body
- Polyuria, i.e. increased urination, at least for many months to a year or more in the beginning of the disease
