You did fine this time. OK lets start with the thyroid labs.. OUCH you

are very hypothyroid in spite of " normal " labs. And your estrogen is in

the dirt WITH loiw cortios so I would ask for ACTH Stim testing. This is

to rule out hypopitutary issues. Usually when cortisl is low the

hormones pathwqays shut towards mega estrogen makinf it high and when ti

is not the pathways thta is amiss, I look to pituitary fiunction not

beoing good as a cause. Bottom line is you need lots of supplemental

hormones. Cortisll would be first to get going, then thyroid, then

estrogen and DHEA and then Testosterone.

Thanks Val,

Where do I get this ACTH Stim testing? Is this through a doctor or a lab

like ZRT?

That one must be through a doctor.
