I'm a twenty year old male who has dealt with symptoms of pois since I was 16, just a month or so before my 17th birthday. I feel more confident than I've ever felt before about my ailments, what's been causing it, and how to treat it.
I had three traumatic injuries in my life (in my opinion anyway), all three involve some form of black out, ranging from almost blacking out with vision becoming very dark, to where I'm literally passed out. I remember something always happening as a result, and that mixed with my constant anxiety as a child posed a lot of problems for me in the near future. I did have an MRI though things were considered unremarkable. Prolactin is difficult to detect through an MRI, but regardless.I combatted stress with ejaculation. I put a lot of stress on myself. I had been ejaculating almost four or five times a day at one point, and them I was sidelined and almost blacked out. I fought the urge to faint, but I never reay recovered. This injury caused my more prominent, irritating problems- all of which are present only when I have ejaculated in some way. Even if I don't ejaculate, I do still feel rather lethargic so I do have concentration problems.
I had been diagnosed with subclinical hypothyroidism (high tsh, normal t3 and t4 levels), as well as early stages of adrenal fatigue. I have concentration problems, joint pain, probably on the verge of osteoporosis with the feeling of random bone splints, my muscles are deteriorating no matter what I do, and because I have joint pain around my arms everything is a little difficult to do especially at long periods. I have with issues, or at least fat that centers around the stomach area and the thighs- that was after my first major injury when I was seven and had blacked out completely after falling from a swingset. In my rentire family, I was the only one that had weight issues. I've always had an androgynous, 'in between look' about me, been mistaken for a girl many times without my choice, and I've always hated it. I think I've had low testosterone since I was a child, and I haven't ever been able to recover. I have symptoms of andropause- literally every underlying symptom. 17 was going to be the year that my life would suddenly fall apart.
Had neurotransmitter tests done a couple weeks ago, and it stated that my norepinephrine, epinephrine, GABA, pea, glutamate, dopamine, and serotonin were all low and below the normal 'feel good' range, with my serotonin being the absolute lowest. This actually made me happy, seeing that there were results that absolutely made sense. I know that low testosterone can have a horrendously drastic effect on neurotransmitters.
I believe my injuries caused my testosterone (or dht or androgen or whatever) issues, and that itself caused my anxiety problems, which in turn caused me to suffer from symptoms of pois. I am using adderall which helps, but works wonderfully when combined with vitamin b complex. I know that vitamin b has a powerful effect on testosterone, so when I had some today and noticed the improvements, I decided to check if there was a connection between vitamin b and testosterone. Turns out there is.
I'm not dead set on it being low testosterone, it could be high prolactin levels, but I know it's something along those lines. Does any of what I said sound familiar to anyone? Anyway, I do have a question, and I hope someone can answer this.
When should I stop taking vitamin b when I do the blood tests? I want it to be as accurate as it can be without any helper in my system. I'll be off all medication when I'm to do the tests, but I'm curious if I should stop a week before, or something along those lines.
