Yes sir I do. 8 hours of sleep is the hardest, I tend to wake up at 3:00 and have trouble getting back to sleep. And I miss coffee but been off the caffeine for 6 months.

Check! Definitely upping my DHEA. Should I start doing one shot a week instead of dividing my doses?

My 12:00, 5:00 and 10:00 samples were well below range, .3 was the highest, low in range is 2 something. My DHEA was low all day. They ran reverse t3, t3, t4, and tsh. Also other autoimmune labs. Adrenal fatigue is a real bitch!

My SHBG was in middle range, prolactin was 14 last checked back in November. Dr said my thyroid looked just fine. My cortisol and DHEA are both shot still according to my saliva test in January. I'd like to know if that 14 is too low is all.

Thanks Vince. I take RAW probiotic for men, 85 billion. I'm more wondering about my e2 not being higher than it is. 14 is low compared to everyone else's labs. Can someone give me some feedback? Nelson mentioned bumping up my DHEA to 50 MG a day. Wish the human body had a reset button.

Get a 4 panel cortisol saliva test done. I'm going through adrenal fatigue rightnow and your symptoms sound similar.

Any thoughts would e great. I also take 25 mg DHEA every morning, and have been since November. I am not on an AI either.

Got new labs back this week. My sensitive estradiol is still at 14, which hasn't changed since November, and my regular estradiol is at 29. I'm still battling adrenal fatigue and leaky gut. The Dr. seems to think these issues are what caused my T to plummet to begin with and we're hoping once...

Vince, may I ask your reason for changing diet and was the gut issue causing your adrenals to be insufficient?

Cleaned my diet up to the T! I take relora and melatonin at night to help me sleep. In the morning I take vitamin D3, vitamin C, Omega 3, rhodiola, DHEA, DysBio, gensing, and a really strong B complex. At lunch I take a probiotic. Dinner I take DyBio again. I try to eat at least 20 grams of...

I'm recovering from adrenal fatigue now! Probably the hardest thing i've ever been through!

Ok thanks Gene! After the E2 crash of 2014, the whole estradial thing scares the shit out of me. Either going too high or too low. So I shouldn't worry about the tenderness, it's normal...check! Hopefully it goes away quick.

When my E crashed I was taking 1 mg a day, which I quickly learned is bad. I've been experiencing some tenderness and soreness in the breast area and I can't tell of it is just muscle soreness or what. There's no nipple sensitivity. I started back at the gym a few weeks ago after taking off for...

After an E2 crash from too much Arimidex, my dr wants me to look into Bio DIM instead. She says it's much safer, which i'm cool with because Arimidex freaks me out now. Do anyone have any thoughts? Suggestions? Had sensitive E2 taken a month ago and it was at 17, regular was at 52 a few weeks...

I'm trying to recover from adrenal fatigue and have been on TRT since late August 100 mg twice a week. About a month after I started TRT I experienced an E2 crash from too much arimidex. So I haven't been on the AI since. I had my E2 checked about 3 weeks ago on the sensitive test and came back...

So after 3 dr's and several days of frustration I finally got my cortisol saliva test and thyroid checked. My cortisol was extremely low throughout the day and my thyroid was low but within range. The dr I finally convinced to check everything is an integrated medicine dr, in which he mainly...

I'm hoping my doctor will order the tests. I've never had experience with asking them to order labs. Should I just ask them to call in thyroid panel and saliva test?

I'm working on getting some labs done. My dr is 2 hours away, so it gets challenging.

I will try to get some, thanks! I'm really worried about my adrenals now after what everyone has said. I'm learning a very tough lesson through this, it's really wearing on me mentally.

If my cortisol is messed up, would bringing my E2 into optimal range help? I've read horror stories of people with adrenal fatigue and how long it takes them to recover, I don't want to be that. I am trying to get a saliva test now through my doctor and i'll call and see if I can get a thyroid...

It's been extremely hard! My mood is definitely down in the dumps and I do believe my cortisol is screwed up because I wake up wide awake between 2 and 4. I started taking a soy supplement, b complex and an adrenal support. I'm just really wanting to feel better ha. Would adding HCG help with...

Got my E2 back and it's still low after I've been off AI for 4 weeks. Still feel like crap. Mood is low, energy is low, sleep is bad, etc.. I've added a soy supplement the last 2 weeks. Does anyone have any suggestions?? TT was 618 FT was 203

Besides being irresponsible? There was never an initial estradiol test performed.

Thanks! I'm not real happy with the doc rightnow. The effects of low estradiol is horrible! A female friend of mine said now I know what it's like to go through menopause ha. Not fun but I'm still learning! Hopefully I'll get back on track soon.

Okay so I've been on TRT for 5 weeks now. 200 mg week and was prescribed 1mg of arimidex daily. After about 2 weeks on T I started feeling better, sleep was good, anxiety pretty much gone, libido showing signs of coming back and I could feel my insulin resistance normalizing. Then about a week...

I called and asked him about the high prolactin and he said if i'm not lactating then everything is fine. I called my initial endocrinologist and am waiting for a call back regarding a 2nd opinion of possible pituitary tumor.
