Last month, I got tired of all my drs doing nothing about me being tired all the time, and it was really effecting my moods, so I scheduled an appointment with an Integrative Dr. I went in and spoke to him for about an hour and we went over EVERYTHING. He did all sorts of blood work and then more blood work. I finally got to see him for a follow up visit yesterday, and basically I have the perfect **** storm for why I'm tired. Low thyroid, overactive adrenal gland and low iron. How come NOBODY has caught this in the past 4 years???? Also, my liver isn't processing all the chemicals out of my body and I have a defect in my MFTHR gene (I don't absorb enough methylfolate). My copper and zinc aren't a 1:1 ratio, and he said that can cause mood problems. So yeah, **** storm. No wonder I'm depressed and tired all the time. My body is working against me. He gave me this long lists of supplements to take. I bought the thyroid med there, cause it's a prescription and a couple other ones.
Knowing all this and what to do about it, gives me some hope. So hopefully I'll be feeling better soon. Now I just have to work on the pain.
