I have exactly the same symptoms. I have been off work since November 11, 2017. This comes from a guy that missed 10 days of work in 29 years. Mayo calls it central sensitization syndrome. What we have found is that it is related to adrenal fatigue and at some certain point it pushes it so far that it turns into Addison’s where are your adrenal gland is not secreting any cortisol at all. I have tried antivirals I have tried antibiotics I have tried antifungal’s been through 11 doctors and finally went to Mayo. I have a nurse that has been predicting this since the beginning that it was adrenal fatigue syndrome. So now I’m on prednisone and getting ready to do a regime of testosterone while seeing my local Endocrinologist. He is basically giving me a go ahead for this. Initially the prednisone was too low so I didn’t feel the full effects. Then I was doing it twice a day with more and felt better, but still not fully awake. I had been sleeping 2 to 3 days at a time and the time that I was awake was almost negligible because I wasn’t in any frame of mind to be doing anything. You start getting a feeling of worthlessness which just makes you depressed and drives this thing because it is a fight or flight type response that your body has which needs cortisolso you’re caught in a Catch-22. Thankfully I started taking it three times a day for 120 mg total 4040 and 40. This seems to do the trick or at least us far it has. The type of test tossed around that I’m going to be doing is not the cypionate that would normally be prescribed but rather such an on which is five different types of testosterone that are androgenic. At this point since 11 doctors of failed me and basically mayo has told me that I’m going to be very limited in what I can do and my entire life is going to be turned Upside down just to deal, that I really do not care what anyone thinks about this if it works well. Am I going to shorten up my life by taking prednisone every day at 120 mg almost certainly. However, I had no semblance of a normal life without it. The lack of testosterone will accompany it because it’s also secreted by the adrenal gland. I am not a doctor so I’m not giving you medical advice I’m just telling you what I’m doing and what has worked for me when nothing else has. Go have your cortisol level drawn and have the ACTH test That stress is your system to make your adrenal gland secrete cortisol. Mine actually did do it but it made me so sick and bloated for about six hours after the test that something was wrong. When I went back and looked at the lab work I had

@corajanewiggins - thank you for figuring this out and sticking by my side always! I love you dearly, as my nurse and my partner. Pretty nice to be living with an RN when something like this happens!
