Well, I see my new pdoc tomorrow. I'm glad he has requested to see me so often. Like Mellow said above, sometimes things feel 'crystal'. That is now in the mornings despite early awakenings. It used to be reversed. I woke in dread.

Now the afternoons and evenings are terrible. I swear I don't know what to do other than be very observant.

Some of you might recall I have seen lots of specialists in the past few years. Fact is, I am miserable with the same symptoms, but like the article Dinah posted on pots, doctors have given up. My endocrinologist has only ever tested my tsh. I get tired of asking for tests because it makes me look absolutely nuts. I know it does. How does one even get a cortisol test? When I first met this endocrinologist, I said I might have some HPA dysfunction. He looked at me. Not mean or anything. Then said why would you think that. Well, because of chronic PTSD. So he asks if I have a therapist.

He's an o.k. guy. I don't need every test run in the book. Frankly I am too tired to endure it. But to not want to test my hormone levels other than tsh I find so disheartening.

I have told three practioners explicitly that I have difficulty standing up. I can sit down and I feel better. Standing, just standing can increase my fatigue. Then I see that link about pots and dyautonomia.

I'm not self-dxing. But heck. I figured out that somehow standing is fatiguing. I don't just sit around and dream this up. I don't like this. I also don't feel competent to figure this stuff out.

Anyone can see from my posts how my mood goes up and down.

Even as a pre-adolescent, I looked at other people and actually thought, their body works. It just works right. They get up, go to bed, have stress, miss sleep, but something is always resetting them. I feel like I am missing something.

Pdoc tomorrow. Thanks for all this discussion. I need to read threads a few times to really get them. I haven't even finished the links Dinah posted.

Over and out.
