[QUOTE="BobF, post: 170131, member: 39514"] I have 30 years as a Firefighter Paramedic, so I am educated in medicine, even more so than most, but the hormones trips me up mainly due to my memory. 20 years ago I was caught in an explosion containing Dioxin aka a form of Agent Orange or Roundup. Destroyed my system pretty bad, was blown off then by many doctors. Was in prep for my first bodybuilding show, my wife is an IFBB Pro Figure. So a year plus was spent finding a ear that would listen, and did. Sadly, I never felt that great, good but never great. At that time my calcium was high and occasionally my Parathyroid, non related to Thyroid. Again non would listen, just a lab error, etc. For the next 20 years I would see my health, my memory, brain fog severe, couldn't recall friends and families names. Simple math gone as my family had many Masters Degrees in mathematics. Rage, anxiety, depression....kept it all together until last year when I wanted to end it. Doctors still wouldn't listen like before, my Testosterone doc retired, I knew I Hyperparathyroidism but no one would test me. Eventually got retired doc to do it, I was severe. Third Stage renal failure had set in, arrythmias, extremely severe memory, and a lot of unmentionables. Finally found an Endo 3 hours south from me that would agree, fact is he made me go to the hospital then and there for all the scans and then sent me to UCLA for consult for surgery. Was the worst case she had ever seen in the thousands she had performed as a head and neck high risk specialist. I was a month away from a probable coma from all the calcium on my brain. Post surgery I felt incredible, best in the many decades, but then I started to backslide and it's the Testosterone. So my moment in Heaven was once again destroyed by hypogonadism. Doctors are stressed over cancer possibilities, not the memory is shit again. Was hoping to return to what I wanted which is the stage for bodybuilding for my 60th birthday. So my docs are saying enjoy what you now have, could have been worse. It's a very long story, involved a team from Virginia Tech, USC, UCSF, Valley, Texas Tech, Olestra potato chips and dry sauna. Learned decades ago what we would see today in Environmental Estrogens, decline of fertility, the pollution with Dioxin in our entire food chain... It's been a ride [/QUOTE]
