what about your results? what hormones are they for?
I am very interested in your theory. I also think pituitary or hypothalamus may be damaged or sth like that.
Most of hormones made by the pituitary have not a good level: FSH (low in my case), LH, ACTH (high), TSH (a little low), prolactine (high)
I have not oxitocyn/vassopresin tests done. besides oxytocin’s sexual functions, it also reduces anxiety. It must be low. As well as vassopresin. I think it made my blood flow get worse and my urinary frequency. It makes blood get more diluted. If vassopresin is low, blood get thicker (blood flow get worse), kidneys eliminate more liquids (urinary urgency and urine less thick), heart beats more quickly. All of them happen to me. Besides alcohol inhibit it. This make us get worse when we drink.
I don’t know what doesn’t work well, pituitary or hypothalamus. or receptors (changing feedback). Perhaps they are damaged because of an autoimmune disease:
“What causes the immune system to no longer distinguish between healthy body tissues and antigens is unknown. One theory holds that various microorganisms and drugs may trigger some of these changes, particularly in persons who are genetically prone to autoimmune disorders” (nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency … 000816.htm)
Perhaps we were genetically prone and finas trigger it. I have also read women have more predisposition to autoimmune diseases because of estrogens, so it could be another reason.
does anyone have? :
- his oxitocyn and vassopresin level
- tests of any hormone of the hypothalamus (i don’t know if it is possible to check them. doctors never order them)
- any other test of pituitary or hypothalamus
thanks.
