Re: can low cortisol really result in high estrog

[Guest guest]

Hi Valarie, you mentioned head injuries and whiplashes can affect pituitary.

What determines whether it's pitituary or not? I've had both.

Thank's Pat

Re: can low cortisol really result in high estrogen?

I am not sure but there seem to be many causes of pituitary failure

notthe lest of which is just plain hypo. In some people it is not so

much failure as a down regulation of it, which could be possible in your

case. Also ANY kind of whiplash or head injury or losing too much blood

can also damage it form what I have read.

This is why an ACTHStim test is helpful. It will tell the difference in

adrenal or pituitary probelms with low cortiosl. You can also test LH nd

FSH to get a pretty good picture.

Can LH and FSH be tested while taking HC? I've got a doc's order here

that I can write it in on before I get my labs done next week. I

think that I can even call and ask and his nurse will tell me to go

ahead. She was willing to put anything I wanted on there when I was

there. We did the ACTH stim test months ago and it seemed to indicate

primary AF, but I wouldn't mind more info.

But, even if it discovered the low coritsol is pituitary in origin, would not

the solution be more HC?

Yes but knowing if it pituitary or not tells you alot about how much you

will need and if you need to take other hormones as well.

Val,

What part of the range should LH and FSH be in? Mine are both in the

very lowest part of the ranges. What would that tell me?

LH and FSH are pituitary hormones and if they are low it might indicate a

pituitary problem rather thna an adrenal problem .

Getting out of my league here, btu I assume it depends on what part of your

cycle you are in.

No cycles here anymore Val. Could this be why all hormones are very

low?

Do you know of a good hypopituitary group?

Thanks for the links.

tyhan THOSE ranges? If so you have a problem and should be supplementing.

I am supplimenting Estrogen, DHEA, Aldosterone, Thyroid and Cortisol. I

am also low in Progesterone, but could not tolorate it.

LH and FSH as well as the above hormones are at lowest or below post

menopausal ranges. I was just wondering if hypopituitary could be the

reason these are all so low. If it is pituitary what would the

treatment be?

Yes it would be a liklly cause. The only other treatment might be Grpowth

Hormone. Have you had that checked as well as Testosterone?

Testosterone was in the lower 1/4 of the range. Low as it was it was

the higest hormone I had. No, I have not had GH tested. I will see if I

can get a doc to do that. I asked for renin with aldosterone and she

did not run renin. <sigh>

Thanks for the reply Val.
