what does treatment look like? experiences? testosterone?
hello, i am not newly diagnosed but i did finally find an endo willing to treat me. last one refused to treat my low cortisol (like. out of range low. 3.2), only offering spiro.
i am audhd + eds, in the process of genetic testing but its cleds or heds most likely. my biggest struggles are fatigue, brainfog, chronic pain and weight gain. the only medication i take is vyvanse.
i would just like some perspectives on whether or not treatment made an incredibly big deal for you or not, if its worth trying steroids and if that greatly improved fatigue and libido and brainfog or if the tradeoffs werent worth it. im very worried about weight as well, but considering the EDS the muscle loss and joint/skin weakening is a terrifying concept for me.
im also quite honestly debating starting testosterone for gender reasons but im curious as to whether or not this might improve or worsen symptoms. ive seen some studies where its helped.
thank you in advance.
