For almost 4 years I have been struggling with glandular fever, chronic fatigue, and widespread muscle aches and pain. Sometimes my pain is more severe; I often get restless legs, cramps, and painfull stiffness/tightness in my vertebrae, pelvis, back, and leg muscles. Physical therapy has helped as a kind of pain relief, but I can make little progress going forward. My other symptoms include a petechial-type rash that can occur on my chest, buttocks or legs during times of pain or physical stress. I have had all the blood tests and scans to exclude serious pathology.
Recently, I had blood tests which determined that I was extremely high in cortisol, very high in prolactin, and very low in testosterone. I was also deficient in Vitamin D. Could such imbalances be the cause/or contribute to my symptoms? Would therapy to correct said levels help me?
I have kept this question very brief, please feel free to ask any questions to further clarify my history or symptoms...
Thanks so much, in advance, for ANY help
