AP 9:22.   Joints all hurt especially left pelvis and then once again the sciatic nerve.  Bleep bleep bleep.  I ran with Troy.  First mile a trot at 10:19.  Nice fall weather and still it hurt more and more.....swimming later then biking if I can muster the energy.  I am so fatigued and my body even 5 hours later feels bruised all over.  What kind of deal is this?  At least I managed to clean the toilets and sinks and vacuum the upstairs.  I hate when I make no change in the world sitting around without progress.  BTW I got online to view previous labs to kind of see what to look for in my new ones...it turns out the labs are back.  I have borderline anemia, just below normal and my progesterone is nonexistent (she didn't get a estrogen level, it was zilch last time) and  my DHEA (the master hormone that makes all the others especially cortisol--stress hormone and progesterone) is VERY low.  I haven't heard back from her after calling the office to get in earlier than two weeks from now since my labs were back lickidy split.  She thought they would take a few days.  Anyone taken a DHEA supplement?  I hear women who are low and take it feel much better after two weeks.  Oh and my vitamin B 12 was low as well.  So I guess I was falling apart at the seems.  NEWSFLASH---OH my freaking heck I am also Vitamin D deficient.  That lab value just popped up!!!!  That is olden days deficiency!!!!  either its absorption (more probable) or intake problem.  I never took supplements while pregnant or afterwards.  Took them for about a month last Summer....hey I felt better for a while..when Dr. Remington, the anti-yeast Dr. put me on them and the diet to avoid all yeast and take a yeast killer.  This NNP also believes yeast is to blame for a lot of autoimmunity and disease and advised me to take a yeast cleanse and take probiotics (taking them now sporadically).

Geez. Have you been tested for HLA-B27 yet? Reading your blog is like a bad flashback. Hope your current supplements work.
