Re: hormonal problems, bad doctors

"One thing that is common is that people that actually get their problems figured out had to go specialist doctors that fully understand the endocrine system" Not always the case, adrenal fatigue can be caused by many reasons, find the stressor and often the condition resolves itself. A slugish liver could cause Af, in that case I think a Naturopath would be better suited to treating the person.

I have seen 2 endrinocologists and the best HRT doctor in the country I live in. I won't see another doctor again. The problem with HRT therapy is you can't replace hormones untill your adrenal are functioning correctly. Besides possiblr DHEA, and even then you shouldn't take take untill you at least 35. So you would need to go onto hydrocortisone first, then testosterone if needed , then thyroid. Hormone replacement therapy should really be used as a last resort when everything else has failed,maybe if you in a situation where you have to keep working to support your family or you are just old. Once you start on this stuff its hard to get off.

I think your tests will be interesting, but you should think long and hard before you possibly make a lifetime commitment to HRT at such a young age.
