    Need some help.

    I have a 41 yo male that came to me with extreme fatigue, depression due to lack of energy.  Diagnosed with Lyme in 2017 and took antibiotics for it, initial improved, then had covid 2020 and has not been well ever since. Has reflux, that improved with an elimination diet we did.  He is hopeless at this point as he has done lots of different therapies at this point.  He is a thin male, owns a real estate brokerage. Goal is to be able to play with his children again.

    I have done elimination diet with BPc/kpv and larazotide orally for gut healing.

    Coq10 injections

    Worked on methylation- homocysteine from 11 to 8.2 now.

    Also have added the below stuff.

    • mitochondrial support:
    • Methylene blue (start 10mg daily, titrate to 25mg twice daily)
    • SS31 peptide injections for 1 month- see below, then will likely transition MOTs-C(want to add this but hard to find)
    • Continue CoQ10, will switch to oral.
    • Continue NAC 600mg BID
    • Start DHEA supplementation- this would be sent to the compounding pharmacy
    • Continue current supplements:
    • Continue Probiotic with Saccharomyces
    • Aloe- Colon X 1-2 at bedtime
    • Magnesium
    • Follow up in 4-5 weeks to reassess and consider:— have not started any of these below.
    • Antifungal therapy
    • Ivermectin
    • Additional testing including potential mycotoxin evaluation

    Labs:

    Slow COMT and slow MAOA

    Covid spike protein 167

    candida serum IgG and IgA positive

    Lyme 3 lines positive

    Testosterone  358 Free79—- He doesn’t want to take testosterone

    Dhea 222- on 50 mg daily

    Hemoglobin a1c 5.5

    Insulin-10

    Omega-check is low— I have him on high dose omegas

    I have a lot more labs as well.

    He is coming for follow-up this week and I want to prepared if still struggling.

    Can you offer some insight into where to proceed next if still having significant fatigue?

    Honestly without starting on testosterone replacement he most likely will continue to be fatigued, I have a feeling his Lyme has nothing to do with his symptoms.
    if he is worried about starting it for fertility reasons may he try to talk him into clomid?
    Thats A significantly low symptomatic number in my opinion

    He’d greatly benefit from constitutional homeopathic medical therapy, as well as testosterone replacement therapy.  You can prescribe Kyzatrex 150 mg po BID.

    Go to http://www.gnhshealing.com for constitutional homeopathic medical therapy.

    @drmitchmdmindspring-com his concern with the testosterone is having to use it for a lifetime.  I did offer it.  Not concerned about fertility at this point, but I agree he really needs it.

    @drmitchmdmindspring-com ok he came in this morning and is open to the testosterone now.  He still has horrible fatigue, and crashing at 4 pm most days.  Reacts negative to any foods that are not whole foods.  Restless legs intermittent at night.  Itching behind both legs that is new and intermittent.  Hopelessness.

    I feel really bad for him as he has been on this journey for so long, but is new to me.  Any other thoughts would be great!  I am sending the testosterone.

    I’d definitely pursue the constitutional homeopathic medical therapy via http://www.gnhshealing.com, Tiffany.

    I know this is very late entering the game here but besides TRT, i m certain if you check his salivary cortisolls they will be low in the afternoon. this is very common in patients with chronic comorbidities both physical and emotional.
