Hey all I am back!

Just to let the regulars know and save me time sending everyone notes, that I am back. Got back 2 weeks ago tomorrow from my epic adventure in USA.
  I must say first up though.....I am totally totally totally whacked! Thyroid meds were useless, my exhaustion got out of control, and I ended up nearly having to get an ambulance when I went for a big hike one day. Almost fainted at a crucial moment on a cliff hike. That was NOT fun!
BUT! I did get back my results of the saliva/urine tests I did in USA. Got the results back two days ago....and you know what? I AM sicker than I thought I was! Aaaaargh! Now comes the big adventure of kicking some very fat butts here in Aus and get my poor old tired out body back to at least a semi-normal feeling zombie!
  Anyways, I hope to be on more often and chat to those who are worse than I am and help those who need their worries cared for.
Will hopefully get around to writing  in my journal and putting up more pics once I transfer them from my laptop to this computer.
  Hugs to all!

Welcome back and sorry to hear you are actually sicker than you thought, but I've found that it's always a relief to finally KNOW what's causing the problems and start working on them.  For me, it's not knowing what's wrong that sends me in frustration.

I read this on your profile. What did the saliva test uncover?

Welcome home to Aussie land:)

My saliva/urine tests show I am super low on cortisol and ultra high on DHEA. Been dragging myself through the days and now I know why! Going to doc asap as each day is getting worse...
  Our hot summer has started early here (as no doubt Smilerdeb will have told you) and I never cope with the heat, today being over 85F I just want to crawl into a hole! Not a good thing!
