Here's the problem. I am 17 years old and I've been training for 2 years now. I first lost a massive amount of weight (50lbs+), but then I couldn't maintain that for very long. They diagnosed me with Cushing's Syndrome that is cortisol dependent and told me to hit the road without medication. The disease is a fatal one if left untreated, and finding a good doctor who will also accept my insurance is a struggle to find. Basically, I am way far behind. The disease is characterized by chronic fatigue and insulin resistance, loss of menses, and a LOT of other symptoms. I am sorry, I don't have a link to the site that tells you all about it, but if you look it up it'll sure enough pop RIGHT up. It's also known as hypercortisolism. To be absolutely clear - I took 4 tests: 24 hr urine to see if cortisol is in the urine - positive, 2 pill dexamethazone test to see if the cortisol is in the blood - positive, 2nd dexamethazone test 8 pills for 2 days - neg. Catscans for tumors - neg.
I have 2 out of 4. I have each and every one of the symptoms from the moon face to the wound healing. Stats: bf% - unknown but is definitely in the upper - mid 20s age: 17 weight: 144 last time I checked height: 5'3" Would Levorex or thermorexin help while I search for a good doctor? The disease is causing intense insomnia and sugar cravings. I haven't slept all week. I am trying my very best to control myself as much as possible, but I usually eat in the middle of the night only half consciously. I was thinking just Levorex alone... Will anyone please advise me?

if you have insomnia try l-tryptophan, its being sold online again. its probably the most effective sleep aid, hence why it was taken off the market (for spurious reasons- there was a bad batch (japanese) - which could happen with any amino (contamination of the bacteria used in synthesis)- but in this case the "fda" (aka big pharma ***** boy)- decided it was unsafe- (since it was hurting prescription sleeping pills sales) even though the same process was being used for other aminos)
