Hmm. I don't feel comfortable treating myself with supplements. There are just too many combination of things and variables that i can't sort out (not confident anyway) on my own.
I think I'll call the endocronologist and ask her about subclinical thyroid--but she wants me retested in 2 months. Unfortunately, i missed her call the other day and she got my vm, so I didn't have a chance to talk to her.
That's funny you mentioned the hydrocortisone creme-I wondered if that was the same thing as the ingested drug. But the topical drug is only like .01% or something like that, right? That would be an interesting experiment..lol..but I'm not brave enough with my health right now to do it.
What I wonder is--has thyroid and cortisol issues been the case for me over the past 3 years or so? I've been prescribed xxRIs over and over for at least that long--only to feel worse. ADs worked for me starting 8 years ago--maybe lasted 2 years. Ever since then, major anxiety. Still would like to check with infectuous disease doctor about Lyme.
I am leaning towards stress burnout from years of chronic stress. There really is no cure for that,but I can't have a stable life until I finish school. Just hope I last that long.
