Nausea and bad appetite

Symptoms Physical
#1

Hello out there,

I was wondering if any of you have had the same experience when it comes to nausea and bad appetite.
I have now been suffering from PFS for about 7 months and of course like the rest of you, I have had a lot of problems (see Sonder story), and some of them have been a litlle better (up and down), but I’m really struggling with nausea and a bad appetite. Some days are good with no problems, but other days I’m really suffering from both nausea and a bad appetite.
I wonder if any of you of there have had the same problems and also if anyone have a solution to this problem - what is triggering nausea and bad appetite???

I really hope someone can help me out here.

Have a nice weekend

Best regards

Sonder

Hi,

Well when i started test E one time appetite was up and so was feelings of well being then at ay 8 lost it.

Now on test prop and lost it at about day 14. Today I can not eat at all. :frowning:

I have had worst of nausea and bad appetite and depression for 8 - 9 months. I was not eating , just one meal a day and this was 1/4th of my normal meal. I lost weight. I also developed during this time metal taste in my mouth, then one day notice gum recession with yellow teeth. Dentist told me I was loosing enamel. Good new started vit D3 4000 IU /day and a lot better.

I strongly advise before starting any thing (any vitam or herbal supp) go for adrenal tests and adrenal auto immune anti bodies tests. I suspect Adrenal has something to do with this.

Ive been eating way more than I normally do yet find it very hard to put on weight.

Hej Spstriken
Has vit. d3 cure your nausea and appetite.
4000 iu is a lot?
How can adrenal problems give nausea and bad appetite.

#8

coming of testosterone - very low appetite hardly can eat. Now on aromasin 2 days. appetite is back :slight_smile:.

Cortisol is responsible for metabolic rate and also stomaich acid secretion.

yes 4000IU helped a lot, no that is not very high. some people take way high 10,000 IU but this is not the fix.
highly possible the problem is low cortisol. For some reasons (most probably high oestrogen or very low T) our free cortisol is very low but bound is higher in the blood. I bet your hypo thyroid too. you can try isocort don’t use plant derived. If you don’t believe me look at

medicinenet.com/addison_disease/page4.htm#9whatare

Hej Spstriken and Vincentv.

My cortisol tests

  1. nov. 2011
    460 (range 200 - 600 )

12 Dec. 2011
505 (range 200 - 600 )

  1. maj 2012
    434 ( range 200 -600 )

Okay or not?

Thanks for your help.

#11

were they taken at the same time?

#12

Yes

10am too 12am

#13

it looks ok. have you got urine or sliva cortisol tests? please have them if you have not.

#14

No urine and sliva cortisol tests.

#15

better take one. your blood cortisol looks normal although a little on the upper side but you don’t know untill you know your free sliva cortisol. If it is very low that will cause low appetite, low BP , weakness etc.

#16

Hej Spstriken.
Thanks for your help I apprecite that.
I will take a sliva cortisol tests.

Maybe you have a comment too my Testosterone tests?

Okt 10 (Range 8,4 - 25,4 ) low

Dec 16,2 (Range 8,4 - 25,4 ) fine

Feb. 9 ( range 8,4 - 25,4 ) very low

April 14,7 (range 8,4 - 25,4 ) okay

22 Maj 21,7 ( range 8,4 -25,4 ) very high

Is that a good sign my Testosterone still is going up.(Maybe showing my body is function)
And can I expect that someday my Testosterone levels would stay normal, not go down?

Thanks

Regards Sonder
