Hello,
I am Nique, 41 years old. I gave birth 6 months ago to a beautiful baby boy.
2 weeks later I took a supplement for the pituitary gland - extracts from the pituitary glands of cows with the wish to improve my breast milk. Since then things are going downhill. I am only sleeping 4 hours a night. I am having panic attacks. And I have severe depression.
After some tests at the endocrinologist it was said that the pills didnīt have an impact. I didnīt have extra breast milk. And I do have my period again. But I still think that the pills put my system off.
Then I was described antidepressants (Sertraline) against postpartum depression. These made things even worse. I lost basically all of my collagen in the body and got thin hair.
Even worse: I got major pressure in my brain.
Apparently it was an adverse reaction so I stopped the Setraline after 4 weeks.
We did an MRI to see if there was something off in the brain but it seemed okay.
And my depression still didnīt lift - to the contrary. I even attempted suicide - I jumped off a 3 m high wall and took toilet cleaner - I know, totally insane.Now my brain feels cut off. I have major pain behind my nose. And I react to any kind of food. My body, especially my brain seems to be full of cortisol. Does anybody know of such a symptom? I feels as if my longterm memory has vanished.
And I have major pressure in the brain that gives me the feeling that I can only eat and drink a little only a certain amount of breathings during the day. I know it sounds crazy but thatīs what I am feeling.
I was wondering if I am suffering from hypercortisolism?
Many greetings.
Dominique
