# Autistic Burnout # collection. what is your experience ? plus some latest research - - - - - - by aidie

Think for me is doing too much-problem is most things are too much! I feel i have ideas about setting up music equipment differently,time i do am exhausted,think thru mental exhaustion(NHS would say it's depression). Doing things physically been useless for years,but have comorbid things like brain/head injury symptoms/Cushings Disease-so not sure of cause. Used to be less fatigued tho,so is something getting worse.

Yeah agree,and mortality rate is 10 yrs! Last thing they said is "wait and see" ! Lol If wasn't cyclical version i would have probably had one of the biggest causes when left-stroke. Cos it is impossible to lose weight with(more u try,more hormones pump out!),how most are diagnosed. Think some of problem(as with my hypothyroidism),is that it's mostly affects women(and old boys club of NHS even worse with conditions that mainly affect women!).

thats too long

Thanx Aidie,hoping cos dealt with in better hospital miles away,will actually pick it up. Last time it said it is maybe showing a tumour but they not sure. Now with a Cushings team-but when first person i meet says "so ur hear about weight management" !!! My mind said what the f@ck and punch him!

Should have had in January,then June,now July-is crazy when u wish to have a tumour to get treatment! Cos i don't show all classic physical symptoms,and GP/wrong notes is leading to another wrong diagnosis and be left in limboagain!),already been about 11 yrs since i reckon i had it!

blimey best of luck with 2nd MRI 

Thanx,the Cushings Disease is no joke,and cos i have Cycling version my Cortisol levels are all over the place. Still waiting for 2nd MRI to pick up pituitary tumour,cos after that they will hopefully operate(thru nose Total Recall style lol). All NHS want to do is bang on about the well funded(drug companies) hormone things like Diabetes! NICE have messed up patients getting meds for Hypothyroidism already(i have to buy them thru a prescriber who also works for NHS!!!).
