Since 2004, I have been suffering extreme fatigue.....chest CT showed multiple thin wall cysts up to 2.7cm in diameter started in lower left lobe and over the next 24- months to upper left and right lobe......since my last check up in 2009 all of the cysts have resolved.....with extreme breathlessness....male age 45 in 2004.
However my fatigue has not improved to the point of not physically being able to perform my work functions since it requires 50% travel.....my Doctor passed it off as situational life stress issues......and was put on low dose of Prozax 20mg, Provigil and ambien for sleep.....none of this improved the fatigue.
So doctor changed my mess in 2007 to Vyvannse 60mg, dropped the Prozac and kept me on Ambien but started me B12 shots since it was very low in the 220 range....the Vyvannse greatly improved my activity and work productivity significantly even though my body continued to feel worn out. My Doctor also put me on Crestor since my cholestrol and triglycerides were extremely high......prior to 2004 I was ranked in the top 5 in tennis never had any issues.....I was refered to a Cardio specialist and the heart and cardio scans and doppler readings showed no issues....
In 2008, I went to National Jewish based on the recommendation that the lung disorder was causing it.....they confirm that it was probably it was not related to directly to what was going on.....the lung cysts had resolved and when they did a reactive breathing test to induce it.....it was negative. This came out in the report as extremely usual.....what they did flag was my TSH level of 5.9 with a low T4 from some of the blood work-ups they did....with my killer T-Cell (3) times the normal range....
My local PCP reviewed the report and noted it but not take preventive or follow-up testing......starting in November of 2010......I can't stay awake and several times unexpectedly go into a very deep sleep for 2 to 4 hours.....my blood work up on February 18th, 2011 by an independent lab testing agency.....liver functions fine, hep functions fine, B12 improved to the 500 range, iron level borderline low/normal, blood palet and related functions normal......cortisol functions all were in the normal range.....however my TSH was 7.1 and my T4 was 1.08...
MCH low normal range
MCHC low/normal range
CBC/Patlet Functions all in normal range
Hep Panel normal
Iron TIBC low/normal
Cortisol normal
