I've been a gym rat all my life. I can do yoga and plank and stretching helps at this point but it takes medication for me to do about anything as time progresses. It's like I'm one inflammatory spell from being splayed out on the floor. I do believe stress is a factor. I've had 3 interviews for 1 job and another tomorrow and then an in-person interview Thursday. All the worrying has jacked up everything or so I believe. I did ketamine Therapy for depression a few years ago and that was amazing. It cleared all the cob webs out of my head and I helped with the brain fog. I haven't felt depressed since then. I just have to learn to manage my condition and try to keep the cortisol levels in check but it's not easy. My doctor pretty much just asks me what I need and he sends it to the pharmacy but at times I wonder how in the world this man graduated from medical school!

So you end up being your own doctor. Been in that spot myself. My advice would be to read, read, read. Try to limit yourself to articles with good references. But if not, be aware of the shortcomings. Myself, I have the opposite problem. I am low cortisol. I have glaucoma and have to be careful how much I am boosted. I think we all become experts in our conditiom and it is a wise doc that is aware of this. Hang on to those.
