Hello guys, new here. Wasn't sure on the best place to post, but advice on vitamins would be great.
I'm a 36 year old male. I've been exhausted since the age of 13. Here's an overview of my journey so far.
For many years my doctor refused any tests. Any at all. Instead tried to prescribe me antidepressants as they'd help me sleep better. I refused.
Eventually I had various tests that found high ANA and positive lupus anticoagulant. This lead nowhere.
I did a private saliva cortisol test, which showed low cortisol, especially in the morning. This explained why I'd wake up feeling drugged. I started 25-30mg hydrocortisone and it had a huge impact. I could wake up before midday, I could even get through an entire day at work without feeling like I was going to die.
5 years ago, I concluded I had coeliac disease. But my doctor refused to test me. Fast forward to Dec 2015 and I eventually, through paying privately, got diagnosed with Coeliac disease.
I've been gluten free since.
I think the low cortisol was due to undiagnosed AI disease and overall bad health.
I am probably feeling about 50-60% of what I imagine normal to feel like. Which is an improvement from the previous 20%.
I however still have a fair bit of brain fog. Lack motivation quite a lot. Overall tired most of the time, but still able to function.
I've been reading rays work and I'm overwhelmed and not sure where to start. Plus, reading genuinely exhausts me.
He says sugar is good, but how much sugar. Caffeine is good, but how much? Any diet advice would be awesome.
Which supplements are essential? I have just started taking 1,000mg B12, B100 complex, high dose vit C, whole food multi vitamin and an essential amino acid complex.
My current afternoon temperature is 36.4 Celsius or 97.5 Fahrenheit.
