In reply to Re: CFS! Lymes? CD? Cortisol fasting? Salty taste?, posted by Phillipa on January 21, 2010, at 19:42:02
Hey my friend. Yes, sore on head always scabs over, pick off. I thought no lab test for Lymes. And, the blood cortisol was nonfasting? I did the one in a.m. only fasting!
You think saliva cortisol is worth looking into? It was when I was OFF the predni*one 0_0 so couldn't attribute to this. I'd been off it for a week and a half and started to notice this even after brush teeth or eat something totally NOT salty. Can you share web site?
I'm a magnet for sta*kers think P! Part reason I'm posting late, fear of sleeping and someone coming in. This doesn't help my health I know.
In 2000, a really good psychologist added it to my dxs, but paid no attn back then. After 2005, I totally changed afa my energy and tolerance of stress. Now the last 3yrs have been like lifeless. Before pred*isone, all did was lie in bed all day, and said to my one support person 'this is crazy cuz don't feel do depressed'. I usually get max 4-5hrs, max, w/o waking for a while.
The endo pretty much confirmed it by looking at my labs of 2009, my meds, my dxs, and well his suggestions re: treating it. My PCP and I are sort of in the dark about why he suggested I see an endocrinologist though. He was a hurried dr. There are only two endo offices in a large area.
PCP confirmed fibro. It began like feeling I'd fallen backwards into a tub of hot water, back on fire. Tried Savella but it paradoxed. So, still on all same pain meds and same anxiolytics and Effexor-XR. Just new is the pred*isone.
Pls route me to web site if you would.
Have you ever had a salty taste in your mouth?
I've been here but pc was doin' all sorts of odd things and wasn't sure if I was secure.
miss ya, 5f
