So I don't understand my symptoms. I have low cortisol but am not fatigued but rather energetic. That doesn't seem to mesh. I can not stop my brain from running. I have been taking supplements that my doctor says that I am low in and was feeling pretty well on them for a while but now the heart pounding stuff just starts out of the blue. I went to a neighbors party and had like 3 panic attacks, which I never really have. I am so frustrated at all of this. It is torture watching your friends and family go on with their lives and be trapped in this body. I am so sad:(
In an nutshell, what is happening to your body, is that it is running on the crude autonomic nervous system and you have heightened sympathetic nervous system activity, thus you are feeling more of the wired and keyed up than fatigued. Actually one can really feel both, being very fatigued yet wired ..........you ever heard the expression "wired tired".
Did your doctor give you any supplements for your thyroid. I ask this because if you were given supplements that stimulate your thyroid gland, when one's TSH drops it can cause rapid heart rate.
See, your entire endocrine system is impacted as the body goes through it's lines of compensation for what the body is experiencing. If the thyroid can no longer compensate, the body reverts to the adrenals. It's not so cut and dried as all operate of feedback systems, each impacting the other.
Another thing is that when one is started on more than one supplement or hormone or too high a dose of each at a time it can cause over excitation. Also one's body has to have time to clear out the metabolites of these supplements and in advanced cases one's body needs more time to "clear" these supplements and/or hormones and if not given this time then it causes excitation.....over excitation.
Well gonna close.
Peace.......shalom (wholeness/completeness) be with you.
Snobetty, are you going to do a hair tissue test? I think it could be helpful for you to rule out copper toxicity. I am low Cortisol, but typically pretty energetic and mind racing has been a big issue for me. Copper can have this affect. And if it is an issue for you, you have to address it to recover.
