found out why I'm having a HORRIBLE time

| My testosterone is very low.... it should be 70 and I'm at 11. Estrogen is
off.... the lab messed up the thyroid panel... but I know I'm not hyper.
It's so nice to know what's really wrong and why... not "just" a lupus
flare.

So, this is the reason your cycle has been going haywire? Will they
give you testerone or do you know yet?

| Doctor isn't sure if this is why my cycle is haywire. He did say the low
testosterone was a big reason I felt so bad.
And yes, I will be using a testosterone cream.
According to my pain doctor, chronic pain patients have problems with their
hormones. Men usually need testosterone pellet implants and women some
supplementation also.

Sex hormones have the strongest influence on growth and repair in the =

For women the primary hormone is estrogen which is key to reproduction.=20
But women's natural testosterone is a strong influence for muscle and =

Interestingly, researchers in animals and humans are reporting that =
testosterone can reduce the body's inflammatory response.=20
There are reports that the inflammatory states of Crohn's disease, =

These benefits of anabolic steroid therapy are, therefore, not limited =

| Thx Shelagh
My pain doctor (he's a family physician) really understands the influence of
hormones in chronic pain. He does "anti-aging" medicine but it's not botox,
restylane, etc.... it's about getting your hormones back to where they
should be so you feel good.
I'm also using a hgh releasing hormone. He wants all his pain patients on
it.... especially those with fibromyalgia, autoimmune, etc....with some
people, he's seen almost all their symptoms go away. For people without
major health issues, he recommends starting it at 30 yo. I started it
around 25 since I was sick. Unfortunately, insurance doesn't pay for it....
but it is tax-deductible since it's a rx. $175
Ironically, I went to my ob-gyn a couple weeks ago for my menstrual cycle
issues (3 complete cycles in 5 weeks). The doctor didn't even draw blood.
I couldn't believe it. My pain doctor ordered the labs to figure out what
was going on- he fully understands the relationship between hormones and
well-being. Oh but I did get a little lecture from my ob-gyn cuz I'm taking
Armour Thyroid and "heavy duty" pain pills. Argh
