I went to a new doctor yesterday to get a fresh opinion. He said I was a slow metabolizer which was why I was experiencing so many side effects on such low doses of meds.
When I was younger I could take much higher doses of meds for a long time and not have side effects.
What would cause me to be a "slow metabolizer"? Is my liver overworked or over-fat?
Is it my age? (38 - not that old!)
Is it because I had a hysterectomy and am taking estrogen?
Was I born a slow metabolizer or is it just part of the aging process?
Is there anything I can do to speed up my slow metabolism?
