Holy shit, what's up brother! I thought i was the only "shape shifter" in existence! That's what I like to call it. I tell people im a transformer. Nobody knows what the hell im ever talking about anyways.
All joking aside, its one shitty ass life. Im hypopp, have thyroid issues, celiac disease, and a casein allergy. I possibly only shift because of my thyroid but cant get my thyroid treated because I dont actually have the thyroid antibodies, so my doctors think it functions fine. Ha, they should come live my life then tell me that.
I cant really help you with your original question but really just wanted to comment because you are probably the only person here that understands what I go through. Its a nightmare.
Sounds like
@Stewie might have a pretty good idea too. Thyrotoxic periodic paralysis, pretty sure I been there, never been so jacked up hyper but felt so gross in my life, slept and didn't eat anything for like two days after that day. Thought I was going to die.
I cant touch androgens(unfortunately i have to remind myself that everyday). They are my number one trigger and send me into an endless potassium shift loop. Then I got the normal triggers, large meals(primarily sugar), resting for too long, resting from activity(this sucks working a physical job). Going to sleep at night, ugh, every single morning, only one question, how bad will today be. I live on potassium chloride.
Ive finally decided its time to hang it all up. Ive tried to make things work forever. Sometimes it kind of does but only very briefly. The celiac disease is a very recent diagnosis and given everything else i experience, along with all the other autoimmune disorders in my family, reality has finally set in, im not beating this, I can only "manage" it.
