  • 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.

    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!!!).

    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!).
