Is this thyroid or adrenal? More problems...

Posted by uncouth on May 28, 2012, at 19:15:43

I've posted recently about my problems with intractable insomnia. Well I did a quick taper off wellbutrin over the past week and a half (note: bad idea) and my mood plummeted into apathetic energetic depression, though the 30mg of namenda is disassociating myself from the experience. I saw pdoc today and we are going to start cymbalta to hopefully take over from wellbutrin, even though wellbutrin was one of the best meds i've ever been on. Problem is i couldn't seem to sleep, and even going off, sleep has improved only maybe 25%.

But i'm wondering if my fatigue and insomnia/early morning awakening could be endocrine? I'm seeing endocrinologist next week, and I started on 1/2 grain natural thyroid 4 mod ago (which doesn't seem to have done anything either way), but in the past month i've started to notice more worrisome symptoms. The only other thing I've changed is adding memantine, maybe it has something to do with it? But I'm dealing with what I guess is poor circulation because i have extremely cold feet all the time, and my skin is getting really really dry and itchy. So added to the fatigue and tiredness and insomnia, now this. Oh and the loss of appetite, and i've been throwing up every other day for the past week (maybe med related, maybe not)

The other suspect thing, which I posted about a few days ago, and I had my doctor look into (he didn't find anything) was these lumps i've started to feel more prominently in my abdomen. I have always had lipomas, so i figure that is what these new ones are, and they are just surfacing because i'm losing surface fat (yay!). But i'm also afraid it might be more than lipomas, and given these other cluster of symptoms, I'm afraid.

Anyway long story but quick question, are these symptom clusters (isomnia/fatigue, dry dry skin, cold cold feet, nausea / throwing up) indicative of anything adrenal, thyroid or anything else obvious? I got a 24 hour saliva cortisol test a few mos ago and things were relatively normal....I hope these lumps aren't tumors... :-/
