[QUOTE="SomeG, post: 12895, member: 2599"] Thanks for your ideas. You may be right. I'm pretty indifferent about what the solution is. I just want one. I did get a high cortisol (blood) test- (50% above normal), but that was followed up with a 24 hour urine test that showed my cortisol to be completely normal (dead center in normal range). Also, my TSH was at the very top of what was listed as 'normal' (3.73 ulU/mL ) and there is a significant history of hypo and hyper thyroidism running throughout my family (3 or 4 siblings have one version of thyroid dysfunction or another). Oh yeah, I don't even know what my estradiol level is-- I think the endo tested for this, but I don't see it listed on my lab results. honestly, I think my primary care and endo just wanted to re-test me on everything until I got something normal-- just so they would not have to treat me! Lastly, I would love to get a full set of vitamin and supplement recommendations from a doctor who knows his/her stuff. I would be perfectly willing to take any number of supplements, but feel like there are so recommendations out there that may or may not get me anywhere. I've heard good things about taking extra vitamin D, Ashwaganda, B6, and Zinc, but I'd love to hear what the mens health doctor would suggest as a regimen. Also, DHEA might be an issue, but I don't want to take any until I have solid guidance on this. [/QUOTE]
