Oh man. This makes me freak out. I cannot deal with all these things. It's like I am fighting at multiple fronts at the same time! How shall I know what I have? Everybody suggests something different. This overextends me and makes me feel totally hypo.
How am I supposed to find this out? I don't have a miracle doctor at my hand who understands all these things and who's willing to help me. I have been to 3 endos and they all told me the same. I am so tired of this.
What is adrenal fatigue? Does this mean you've permanently screwed up your glands?
I just want to feel normal and not worry anymore. This stuff makes me worry even more because I stumble from one anxiety into the other.
Once I had a very high DHEA and 17-Hydroxypregnolon level but in the next
test it was normal again.
This
test was done 4 years ago. I had these results:
DHEA 1160ng/dl Norm: -750ng/dl
17-Hydroxypregnolon 980ng/dl Norm: - 350ng/dl
Cortisol 157ng/ml Norm: 50-250 ng/ml
But in later tests my DHEA was normal again. The doc wrote that the high DHEA & 17-Hydroxy levels were most likels caused by stress. He also told me to get a kidney MRT which was normal.
I also have a lot of stress, no doubt about that. Often I feel totally exhausted. Maybe taking an SSRI would help against the stress, this would be healthier than having so much stress.
Reading your reply already made me become stressed again but it's simply overwhelming. I don't even know what to do anymore. Everybody suggests something different as reason for my low T. I don't know what to do anymore. There are no more endos in my area. If I go to an urologist he would simply give me T but he will not do any further thyroid diagnosis because he doesn't know enough about it. My options are very limited. I can get
TRT but that's about it. I won't find a doc who has the knowledge to really explore all kinds of options. Even if I have low thryoid hormones and even if they might cause my low T then I won't be able to find a doc who understands this. Like I said I have been to all endos in my area.
