Ithappens.
You have a very low LH, FSH.
I wonder where is your Progesteron test???
It might be the cause of low hypothalamus markers.
I do not see your cortisol levels too.
I also became curious about your test of Hepatitis A. In my clinic they are not performing tests for the A type, when I asked a woman told me it is not detected by any blood test, perhaps she is misinformed…
Tell me what your face look like, do you have a reddish nose on a regular basis and yellowish face?
Cheers.
my FSH is low, but my LH is within range and have been told by various dr.s and others it is fine and very much normal. They do the hepatitis A test as part of the full liver panel to rule anything out thats why its on there and yes they can test for hep a. my face has had changes int terms of fat distrubution and hollow sunken eyes etc but does not have a yellow tint or red nose at all. if anything im paler and have lost a lot of color there. i havent had my progesterone checked yet and didnt have my dht checked on that previous test, but i believe i had my dht checked sometime ago on a previous test i will have to see if i can find it. i would imagine that it would be normal, and also would imagine most if not all of my numbers will come back within normal ranges. the main problem is neurological.
My endo would consider your LH, FSH low both. You should better test progesteron to find out whether it is elevated or not. I wonder if progesteron has a strong 5AR supressing properties, is there any chance that it may impact neurotransmitters…
i don’t have a doubt that it does impact neurotransmitters as my sleep doctor who is a neurologist explained to me, my brain in essence has forgotten how to sleep because of it etc etc. how and why he wasnt sure.
Ithappens besides sleep problems, do you have some slowdown of hairloss due to the weaker neurotransmition…?
no my hair loss hasn’t slowed down really. if anything it’s gotten faster. however, i don’t feel my hair loss was dht related to begin with
perhaps progesterone is in play though because while all of this has been going on i’ve been craving choclate like crazy much like a woman on pms or pregnant etc. i dont know whether it could be the sugar content itself just to stay awake etc or just the fact that maybe something is really out of whack in that area.
You mentioned a good point!! It is possible because my eager for chocolate is extreme… I almost cannot stand a day without some chocolate, no matter if I put it into caffe or a snickers… Exactly, pregnent woman got this eager too…
To be honest my friend something might be different in your case cause I have a great slowdown in the hairloss department. It is due to progesteron… There is even some phenomenon, that when I jerk off, and my the hormonal content increase… my hair are getting thicker and stronger then… which is directly opposite then it was before. This is why I consider my hormons altered.
I also get much less of this itchy feeling on my head.
Ithappens, It would be great to know from you how your morning progesteron is rolling… If there would be more guys with this type of hormonal mess, maybe we should write to the Merck research department to let them know that this long term issue exist, and maybe we could force them to do some recovery tests with RU 486, which is registered as abortion pill, but is also in tests for -----> psychiatric disorders----> not registered yet… really… You see ithappens that this pill might help us to come back from being a pregnent men… hah?
OT: Funny you should mention about chocolade, I have been eating it like crazy now. It used to make me feel ill.
Eager for chocolate is kind of strange because I did never realy care about sweets, now I cannot stand without eating it… it also make the whole situation worse…
it’s interesting cause the choclate could be due to flucuating levels of progesterone throughout the day etc. hence why most women on their period crave chocolate.
Well here is the latest blood work that I got a couple weeks ago. I made sure to get the blood work done right before xyrem so that way if things did in fact improve I would have some sort of medical proof relating to it based on my blood results. Hopefully, if certain hormone levels adjust based on my xyrem treatment it will lend credence to my recovery via xyrem, and I can present it to the medical community to help others out on here. Who knows perhaps if things truely do work out I can be the sort of the missing link and push the medical community in some way to adjust their thinking about how to help and treat us etc. Anway, here are the main issues pertaining to the blood work.
First off my Free Test is low normal and most likely low for someone by age. This isn’t really a surprise as it had been in the 400s before hand. I’m thinking based on being an athlete and all as i used to be it probably was around 600-700 but this is just a rough estimate as many guys are in the 500 range and fine.
Also Progesterone is high normal which is common amongst many guys here. If progesterone is chronically raised due to the adrenals pumping it out chronically then who knows perhaps small amounts of progesterone may help, but I will hold off for the time being before trying to supplement it.
DHT is low. this was extremely interesting to me as i figured due to my prostatits symptoms that DHT was chronically elevated like some guys on here, guess not. It would seem that DHT could explain some of the gyno symptoms I have such as the weight in the hips and chest. i hope to God the weight gain there truely isn’t permanent but if DHT has been chronically low for so long most likely it is and i will probably need surgery on it down the line.
Candida- My IGg antibody showed a 0.8 rating and anything greater or equal to 1 is a positive result while anything less than 1 is negative. If it wasn’t so high i wouldn’t be concerned but this begs to question that I very well could have that to deal with as well.
FSH is still low while LH is up from what it was.
