Stability

[Guest guest]

Hi there,

I've written about thyroid/adrenal issues and depression/fatigue here before.

But what's really baffling to me is how much it changes. I'd like to hear if

anyone else

experiences the shifts.

One day I can be so fatigued/low blood pressure/depression/cold/slow metabolism

that I

can barely get out of bed and a shower takes too much energy. I'm out of breath.

My hair

falls out and I can't concentrate or read.

Then, the very next day, I'm completely different - energy revived, clear

thinking,

metabolism up and running and back in action. But I haven't changed anything.

I've had doctors suggest I'm bipolar but that doesn't make sense to me because

why would

I get cold and have my hair fall out, etc. if it were bipolar disorder. I don't

think that fits.

But I haven't heard much about the back and forth on this list.

It seems like just when I prepare for one thing (setting up friends to help with

groceries,

apply for disability, ask family to send movies when I'm down), the change

happens and I

find myself up and running again.

On the other hand, I can be up and running - feeling fine and I'll do something

really crazy

(like get a job, lol) and then crash so hard I can't actually do the job.

My family has suggested I go on psychiatric meds which I've tried many times in

the past

(almost always with horrendous results) and I'm reticent to try again but I will

if I have to.

Does this scenario sound familiar to anyone else?

Have you found any way to stabilize yourself?

I'm already on HC and thyroid meds and thinking about trying ACE as well (as per

the

recent posts).

As always, suggestions are HUGELY appreciated.

I'm so grateful to this list.

:^)
