Kate, I'm really sorry you are still battling with it.
Thanks for the "inside scoop" on the classic symtoms developing later. Like you, I don't have any of the androgenic effects, but I do have some of your other symptoms in addition to the insomnia...ones I was unaware WERE symptoms. Namely the memory problems (words I should know that I seem to have to grasp for sometimes)and my caffeine sensitivity seems to have increased. I've always been sensitive to it, and don't drink anything which contains it other than coffee. Sometimes I can drink two cups without getting too jittery, but that's pretty rare. I haven't even gotten through a whole cup the last few mornings...but maybe that's the ADD thing...I let it get cold. =) My pulse is more rapid than I would like it to be(85-90 resting), but always have been high and it climbs very quickly when I exercise. I get red in the face, too, but that's because I don't sweat.
You mentioned muscular fatigue. Have you had any problems with tendonitis/bursitis? I seem to be damaging my ligaments more easily...probably just middle age. =(
Thanks again for the info and I hope you feel better and find something to help you. I'm glad your dr. caught it!
Michelle
