Anyone with PSSD currently following this protocol? (The logs ive seen were all PFS i believe)

Just me, Jaxx. (Not sure if there's anyone else)

Still having low sensitivity and a little fatigue.

alright, thanks for the updates so-far! Dont see many people jumping on the ACE thing atm, guess it is kinda hard to get too.

I plan on trying a mineral protocol in the near future. I first need to fix some of my issues with cortisol/adrenaline with will likely require some intermittent fasting, diet change, and exercise.

if someone have low ceruloplasmin and copper in blood this topic is very intresting
I recently took mn+zn combo beacuse I have low copper and cerulo in blood, and I do not feel good. Libido is very low and I am in kind of apathy.
I could start acetazolamide+cu+k+mg +little bit of ca or cu+k+mg or cu+k+mg+methionine but i recently started pine pollen cycle beacuse it kills 3betahsd and 5alfareductase, so kills progesterone and dht and probably cortisol and make copper work/progesterone receptors sensitive/androgen receptor sensitive, so in general make the same which above protocols. And according to this topic, first I should make my copper work and then use mn+zn combo (even though you risk hairloss)

@ruprmurdoch do you have low or high estrogen symtpoms? I have almost out of range low estradiol and symptoms of low estrogen as well. I wonder what if I start to eat soy? Will that increase ceruloplasmin and make copper work? I started taking some MSM and it was probably stupid idea as sulfur is strong copper antagonist. Every time I take it I get freezing cold.
I really don't know what approach I should take. Taking bunch of zinc and manganese as ARL or practitioner is suggesting while my sodium, copper are already low it is nonsense. Feel like dying..
Can't take magnesium as well. It lowers sodium which I have already low. Wonder if I should take copper. But they say from supplements like glycinate is different form than from food. Really don't want to increase free copper = oxidative damage.. My hair is fucked up bad. I think it started around the time I started with T4 meds.. Now I am on 75mcg.. I will do another retest and if TSH, free T4, copper and lipids are barely any better I think I will stop it.. I was thinking T4 is not active hormone it can't hurt me. But it seems the body pushes all that extra T4 into reverse T3 which is blocking free T3 from working and so it is worse than not taking anything.. If I stop taking it AGAIN I am done for good. No matter what I would never go to the doctors ever again for anything apart from if it is emergency like some insane infection or something..

we dont know your symptoms + you dont have proper blood tests. if your progesterone is elevated than you should make it more sensitive and copper + magnesium or cu+mg+k or cu+k+mg+methionine or pine pollen will be effective.
but for sure if you want to supplement copper it should be always in minimum version copper + magnesium or cu+mg+k or cu+k+mg+methionine

I tried myself once few years ago acetazolamide but without co factors beacuse i have partially empty sella an felt lethargic as fuck. for sure this drug in doses which are for intracranial hypertension is making you nothing but lying on bed... and i read some time ago on other forum that this should look like this. you should lie down on bed while on 1g of ace daily

on this board i found that people were taking it in amount 250g + co factors

@ruprmurdoch I will test progesterone as well. But for sure I don't want to play with any drugs like acetazolamide or whatever. The only thing I will take in pill form is essential stuff like vitamins, minerals. Ideally I would love to stop taking any pills. Tired of this shit.
