I am very depressed and just do not know what else I can do

[Guest guest]

Hi Val ,

Since last Sat last day of the Pred. I am VERY emotional. I already

struggle with low mood depression and I used to cry alot. The passed

two years going on Lamicatal a mood stablizer I have been SO much

better. The last four months I have been on Pred. on and off. I have

not just stopped . I took what was presribed. I am waiting for Wed.

early morning to take the rest of blood tests. I am just in such a

low mood. I saw my pdoc yesterday and he told me to head staright to

the ER if I feel suicidal which I would do if need be.

I just feel so much worse than usual. My reasoning seems to be so

off base.

I knwo I have to hold on for th e stat blood tests. I have seen many

of doctors who thought I had Fibronylagia. Now I feel it is adrenal

exhaustion and I only just have had a low thryoid. Which I never

struggled with . I am still waiting on my free t3 but my free t4 was

0.82.

I am so sick of seing this doc and that doc. I am so low in energy

that it is getting way to difficult to get their let alone get on

the web and research. I have research so much an dyou help so much

as well.

I am reaching out as I am hanging on. I know you are not a

doctor ,but I do believe things are off and my basic blood panels

are all normal. I had B-12 shot today and felt worse.

I will post my results right when I get them. I just can n ot

believe I feel so depressed as I was three years ago.

Pred. as I mentioned in earlier posts , my pain goes right awy. My

brain feels foggy and usually I am on point.

My Intergrative doctor is the only doctor who will address adrenal

exhaustion and thinks out of the box.

I have seen many and they all go by blood test results and when I

mention low cortisol they are not interetsed.

Val, you have given me great feedback and I just and at such a loss.

Can some of this be that the Pred. helped erradicate the pain and

now I am having rebound depression effect?It is so hard for me sleep

as well. I have mentioned this several time sto my pdoc and

Intergrative doc and my pdoc says if I need a sleeping pill I must

take one. I can rarley sleep w/o one because my body is used to it.

I really am so fatigued it is to much to even think of going to a

whole new doctor.

Thanks,

a
