Guest guest Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 Here are my newest symptoms since being on 1/2 grain armour for a little over a month (doc won't raise my dosage); constant leg pain, extremely cold, join pain and stiffness, nausea, diarrhea, my heart is fluttering and then last night I had severe vertigo, where I couldn't see or function for over a half-hour. My fiance also said that I couldn't talk " clearly " while I was having vertigo. I don't know what is going on with me. I can't even think. I hope someone has an idea of what the hell is going on with my body. Then, I had another appointment today with the doc. He won't raise my dosage because I have been " jittery, anxious, and having heart palpitations " some of the time, so he thinks I'm swinging into hyper.... but how can I feel hypo at the same time?? I'm just so so confused. He also said I was (something.. a big word that I can't remember).. something about coma, adrenals.. etc. He only took like 30 seconds with me, and I left very confused and frustrated. So I hope you guys can offer me what my doc did not. Anyway, here are the results from my lab work; (this is from 30 days ago, before I was on armour) Testosterone Total Free: 0.5 (0.3-1.9) Total Testosterone: 29 (range 8-60) Progesterone: 5.9 luteal phase (range 2-20) DHEA: 2.7 (range 0-12.9) Homocysteine, plasma: 5 (range 0-13) My pelvic ultrasound was unremarkable. My Salivary Cortisol and DHEA lab: 7-9 am: 0.41 (range.27-1.18) 11am-1pm: 0.03 (range .1-.41) 3-5pm: 0.16 (range .05-.27) 10pm-12am: .06 (range .03-.14) He put me on Cortef 5mg 1 at 9 am 1/2 at noon 1/2 at 3pm and Adreset (an herbal supplement) (and which I'm not going to take... as I'm still nursing my daughter) I haven't been reading much on here, and I probably should be. I always just feel so overwhelmed, even when resting I feel like I'm on the verge of tears. Thanks for all your help, everyone, Brittney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
