Thanks for keeping us in the loop, Barb. From what I can tell, many folks with chronic illnesses end up with mitochondrial issues. It is my intent to look for (and treat) the FIRST domino, so that we don’t get to that point. Your empty sella, for example, is likely NOT due to mitochondrial disorders. I am taking a step BACK to see what ties everything together. Make sense? Now, having said that, anything that helps you feel better/stronger, I’m ALL FOR IT. 🙂 Diana

If you treat the first domino, does it have a ‘knock-on’ effect at reducing all of the other symptoms ?

Empty sella (for those who are new to this terminology, it means the pituitary gland that has been flattened, probably by pressure from excess CSF, raising the intracranial pressure).

I wonder, could any of the raised intracranial pressure that has caused my empty sella be caused by a blockage/or sluggishness in the lymphatic system ?
