Guest guest Posted January 17, 2004 Report Share Posted January 17, 2004 I don't have too much information on this topic but I do know that the adrenal glands do secrete a small amount of testosterone aswell. In women who have a condition called Cushing's syndrome, a disorder in which the adrenal are working in excess, they often develop signs of increased testosterone such as facial hair growth, and hair loss. Also, blood reports show elevated T in women who have cushing's. > Anyone heard about or read about Adrenal Fatigue? > I found a book on this and it is also describing most all of my > symptoms for low T. > > How much do the adrenal glands play into T, LH and FSH levels? > > Thanks, > Nickso Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 17, 2004 Report Share Posted January 17, 2004 Adrenals produce only a very minor amount of testosterone. They have nothing to do with producing LH or FSH. Woman's adrenals produce as much testosterone as men. For men, testicles are where 95% of testosterone is produced, at least for healthy men. Adrenals are not very important when it comes to testosteorne in men.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2004 Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 Not much at all. I dug pretty deep into this because I High Functioning adrenals. The only possible link is the DHEA conversion, through several steps, into T. My DHEA and DHEA-S are about double the high end of the reference range, but my non-treated T was 128 ng/dl. So, no real link. There is a link in that if the adrenals are producing too much cortisol, you will have suppresion. But I would not know if that is considered in the adrenal fatigue catagory. y > Anyone heard about or read about Adrenal Fatigue? > I found a book on this and it is also describing most all of my > symptoms for low T. > > How much do the adrenal glands play into T, LH and FSH levels? > > Thanks, > Nickso Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should see a doctor. There are, to my knowledge, no medics on this group, and the only thing you'll get here is conjecture. Granted, it may conjecture that hits the mark, but you'll never know until you see a doctor. High cortisol, for example, may indicate Cushing's Disease. It may also indicate pseudo-Cushings, or a whole host of other problems. Then again it may be nothing of the sort. See a doctor, and treat everything you read here with a certain amount of caution. Even this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 EXCELLENT ADVICE! I tend to give advice that comes across overly authoritative. Most advice here should be run by a doc. The trick is to have a good doc: there are good ones and bad ones in every medical specialty. Bruce You should see a doctor.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 Hi ny it could be you are in the early stages of Adrenal Fatigue. A cut & paste. When our body is stressed, our cortisol level rises in an environment where the negative feedback system is dampened. While this is happening, our DHEA level continues to drop. The result is a high cortisol to DHEA ratio and: Get tested and keep an eye on this.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 It was nothing personal, Bruce, believe me! It's just that I've really had a few bad experiences after following advice given by laypersons on the Internet - not in this group, I hasten to add - and I tend to look at everything now with extreme caution. I see a lot of great advice and a lot of advice which is well-intentioned but potentially quite dangerous. Where our health and well-being are concerned, I think we have to defer to the professionals. That's not to say that the professionals are always right. But in the land of the blind, and all that. best, Colin > You should see a doctor.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 > > Does anyone know good natural cures for adrenal fatigue. > Thanks, Robyn Dr Lam has written a very detailed article on Adrenal Fatigue on his website. http://www.drlam.com/articles/adrenal_fatigue.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 Does anyone know good natural cures for adrenal fatigue. Thanks, Robyn Adrenal cortex extract and licorice are the primary supplements for adrenal fatique. Vitamin c (1g) three times a day, and pantothenic acid (500mg) three times a dag will also help. Licorice: With licorice you have to take a break every 4-6 weeks, because else it could negativly impact your potassium levels. Glandulars: Nutricology Organic Adrenal Cortex Extract or Thorne Adrenal Cortex are the common ones, and work very well. Frequent high protein meals are also important, especially proteins at breakfast and lunch. And then you have the mental bit, sleep habits etc, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 If you hear me laughing, it is because the list of things to take, and what causes Adrenal Fatigue reads like the 'who's who' of everything. Look at Dr. Lam's list of causative factors: " Stressors that can lead to adrenal fatigue include: a.. Anger b.. Chronic fatigue c.. Chronic illness d.. Chronic infection e.. Chronic pain f.. Depression g.. Excessive exercise h.. Fear and guilt i.. Gluten intolerance j.. Low blood sugar k.. Mal-absorption l.. Mal-digestion m.. Toxic exposure n.. Severe or chronic stress o.. Surgery p.. Late hours q.. Sleep deprivation r.. Excessive Exercise s.. Excessive sugar in diet t.. Excessive caffeine intake from coffee and tea One of the most commonly overlooked causes of adrenal fatigue is chronic or severe infection that gives rise to an inflammatory response. Such infection can occur sub-clinically with no obvious signs at all. Parasitic and bacterial infections including Giardia and H. pylori are often the main culprit. " In simple terms, these could apply to many diseases, if not most of them. All of these things interfere with the every-moment of our lives normal elimination of Metabolic Waste, the waste we routinely have from the death and then renewal of cells, a very natural and needed series of events. Throw a dart at the above list and I'll bet you fit in there somewhere. If one is experiencing a few of those I'll wager that they have other health issues as well. Looks like a Physician's dream.
