Don't get me started. I have seen more Docs than I can count in 4 months. I have no thyroid. I had milder pain 3 years ago and they yanked it out thinking it was cancer. It was not. I keep going and have been scoped, They note some sores that come and go ( different areas), slightly red and irritated and one tonsil is marginally inflamed.


They even biopsied it once, but she missed the spot she wanted. I then clotted and was thrown on coumadin, so no biopsies until I am off that I have not done any tobacco, Binge drink about once a decade for a few weeks at a time.  So alcohol should not be much of a factor, because I do not drink in between.


I have terrible allergies and was just started on singular 4 days ago. That may be helping with the pain, but is making me hoarse a bit. I was just told I am allergic to everything and that severe allergies can inflame a tonsil.


So, I asked about reflux and they said that and allergies are probably the cause, but they are not sure.So here I am in the ER (thinking I have pneumonia as I waited 2 days to go in) They are telling me I have a clot and that cancer can cause this and do I have cancer. Man, ignorance is bliss. I wish they had not told me. Monday is a CT, she wil;l do a biopsy if needed but I have to stop the coumadin for week.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
