Consult with the Doc

Don't worry, I didn't disappear I'm still here.. I know it's been a while..
I've had several great days this past month, but I've also had way too many days where I just crash. Winter time has always historically been my worst. According to my naturopath the winter season is when the adrenals have to run in high gear, so for those of us who are low on adrenals this time of year is taxing.
My brain the past month has just been flat lined. I've got nothing going on up here  right now. I wish I knew what caused my brain to shut off like this. I can't think, I can't remember, and I can't concentrate. Just lost in space....

I had my consult with my Hansa Doc a while back. I have some good numbers, so things are moving in the right direction! Blood work showed I needed Vit.D, and that's helped since I began taking it. The labs also showed a lower infection load in my system, that alone is great progress.
My saliva test results showed I had too much estrogen, testosterone, and dht in my system. All of this loops back to my adrenals struggling. He now has me taking a product to pull te excess out of my system.
My 24hr cortisol is significantly better than it was last it was tested. In the morning it's a little low, same at lunch, low normal afternoon, and normal at midnight. Overall I am not too far off from reaching normal range.
I still have to take some things for parasites, they are still present. No shock there.

I haven't felt too bad. Still have muscle fatigue and brain fog, which makes life hard. But I can manage.
I just wish I could get over this final hump and get back to normal!
