Hey guys,

i have still a really frustrating and strong weightloss. I lose all the fat and muscels, it's insane. It all started with the intake of thyroid hormones. BUT, i can't live without them. All my hair falls out and i can sleep 24/7 without them. TSH gets too high too.

I really feel this needs to stop. I'm only skin and bones right now and the meat is really thin on my bones now. It's scary to see your body falling apart. Other people touching me get scared too sometimes [Frown]

It's totally related to my thyroid imbalances.
I tryed to recover the adrenals with CYTOCYME AD, Cordyceps and Eleuthoro.

Cytocyme is really powerful stuff, i felt it was nearly as good as low dose cortisone. it had the same effect for me.

With the Cyto i was only feeling worse after some time. I did sleep really bad and woke up earlier. Seems like it's too much.

I know that the hormones need to be "readjusted" when the adrenals work better and this could be the solution for the problem but with a too low T4 i feel super bad.

I was thinking about trying DEHA.

I also started ERFA and ARMOUR thyroid.
Both had good effects first but i slowly went downhill because i felt my adrenals really got worse on them. I lose ALL my libido on both of them. If i try to recover this with enough adrenal support, it doesn't get better.

I also tryed whey shakes and EATING TONS OF FOOD.
No one eats as much as i do, really. I eat sooo much.... Doesn't help.

Baby i'm a lost cause.

If you live in Germany, you have the choice of many practitioners who are trained by Dr. K.
Look up the Institute of Neurobiology according to Klinghardt http://www.ink.ag/ and you will find listings of very well trained people, hopefully some near where you live.

They all just returned from a variety of training seminars by Dr. K. and I am sure you will find someone who can test you and help determine what you are missing or have too much of. They are very up-to-date with the methods that work for chronic disease.

Best and good luck.

The whole HPA axis sounds off. Have you had a complete hormone workup including HGH, DHEA, testosterone, renin, aldosterone, etc? There is probably more to it than just thyroid. Low HGH and also low cortisol will cause the symptoms you describe.

i was at a klinghardt practitioner. she subscribed me a lot of stuff, but i didn't tolerate chlorella at all. what's the sense in art testing if you can't tolerate the stuff?

she said i may have kpu and we treated it. but i only felt worse on that treatment, even after months.

yeah the whole HPA axis seems to be THE problem.
no i didn't have a whole workup but i think that is a really good idea!

what is HGH?

how to treat HPA axis? it may be because of lyme? are there cases where the HPA is the major problem and not so much joint pain etc. ?

I know the feeling. My hair was falling out (a lot of it). Lost too much weight too. I had to change my ways. Started resting, hard, eating more meat, nuts and oils, and added flaxmeal to my diet. The flax meal made a real difference for me. Also started eating cheese. I don't know if we are supposed to have casein or not, but cheese helped too. Hair got better in a week on the flax.

Also, hormones got much better on the flax. No more hot flashes, and I sleep better.
