Don't mean to sound so negative or that but I've had anxiety and there's no chance all my symptoms are due to anxietyWell in my opinion the so called "LTC" is a kind of anxiety disorder. Its different from the normal not drug induced anxiety disorders, but the treatment should be the same.(Meditation, CBT, SSRIs, and so on)
This.Ive had prior anxiety symptoms before this ltc. And yea this ltc is way different. Anxiety changes. And causes a big o list of symptoms. but it is in fact just anxiety. I believe majority of ltc are pure hell of mental illness anxiety/depression. I dont know your story ryan but if everything came out fine you should start accepting its mental. Youll drive your self more crazy looking for an answer.. Thats jus my opinion.
Hey guys, just thought I'd chime in. The other day, I went to grab my blood test results from a test I had done in January. I didn't go get them initially cause I trusted the doctor when she said it was fine and I didn't want to provoke the anxiety by arguing about it. Well, I went to the docs recently for an ear infection and decided to pick them up on the offchance.
So in January, my serum t level was 18.9 nmol/L. On the sheet it says the normal level is 8-27. Does anyone here think that's ok for a 23 year old? From the research I've done 19 nmol/ isn't high but it's certainly not clinically significant. And this was back in Jan when I was almost completely sexually dead, I'd imagine it would be higher now.
So in the beginning of the LTC, you probably had high cortisol which indicates the body is "coping". For whatever reason (predisposing factors), the body did not normalize the level and thus your anxiety continued. Then the high cortisol literally causes brain damage (REVERSIBLE brain damage) due to stress and then it damages the hypothalamus. So now you are left with low cortisol and "adrenal fatigue"--which isn't even related to adrenals directly.
That converts to mid-500s which isn't amazing but its def not low enough to cause the full blown symptoms of an LTC. Sexual function should be there with that level of T. However, Testosterone isn't all sex drive is linked to.
Did you ever check AM cortisol? TSH w/Free T3+T4?
I've said it before but most doctors will say "Oh cortisol is in range no issues there" but thats totally the wrong interpretation. With anxiety your cortisol should be OUT OF RANGE high if everything is "normal". Its too bad that the labs don't change their range based on what your mental state is. For example, its different to have a cortisol of 14 ug/dL while having no symptoms than it is to have a cortisol of 14 ug/dL while experiencing the LTC.

Does anyone know anything about neurotoxcity from mdma here ?
Seriously I dont understand what were going through. Without lying, today I feel 100% recovered. No symptoms at all. I can spin around without being dizzy. No motion sickness no nothing. If everyday was like today I wouldnt be on this forum. But tomorrow its gonna change again.
I honestly think this could be what's happening though i have so many problemsThat's the last thing you want to worry about right now. That's the anxiety talking. Forget about MDMA, go take a steaming hot bath, or put on some ambient music and have a nap.
