Guest guest Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 > > > Here is some of my experience with my healing journey .....I have had extreme fatigue for 33 years now and had tried alot of things.. <My first symptoms were extreme fatigue, terrible nausea and air apnoea., coming on days after finishing off some drugss , I had a round of antibiotics for cystitis followed a coupe of weeks later with a drug to kill of parasites in my bowel.. The nausea improved with the addition of milk thistle and hydrochloric acid.. THe air apnoea went away which was from mitral valve prolapse with coenzyme q 10 I always felt exhausted, terrible > concentration and felt I could not cope qith the anxiety and feeling so ill ... I have been on progesterone all along for 15 > years, plus herbal estrogen and testosterone since menopause,, I found > thyroid supplementation a help , but my energy was still very, very low .. I started chelating , first with intravenous for a couple of years . Then I started using frequent dose a couple of years ago . THe first time I used DMSA only I got alot of help with anxiety and digestion.. I was taking high doses of ALA and DMSA then. 100mg/ 50mg and had problems wiht continual kidney/ bladder infections and worsening of some of my symptoms.. so I stopped for over a year. I found that mineral support was very important and got over hypoglycemic symptoms with chromium, liver pain with manganese, and infection with zinc and selenium, I found that lecithin with every meal , helped calm my irritable bowel which had been totally debilitating. ...I had trouble digesting everything , with fats and proteins being the worse ... Enzymes helped a bit. After my first DMSA round my body handled protein digestion better.. I had the saliva test done last fall , my doctor thinking that my low energy was adrenal related. .. it > showed lowish normal .. My doctor gave me adrenal herbs and it gave me a boost, but I would eventually get sensitive to it. ...I was still very exhausted and poor concentration. > > I was just put on 50 mg pregnenolone and feel wonderful.. > not only sane { the first round of DMSA started that improvement over a > year ago. } > but reasonable thinking again... and not afraid I am not > going to make it.. Now from medical tests my cholesterol is low and our hormones are made from cholesterol from my reading.. Pregnenolone is what is used at the beginning of the making of hormones. It is interesting the connections between hormones and cholesterol and my inability to digest fats for all of these years. > > Nanci Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
