This is true...there are many different chemicals that affect your day to day bodily functions. Many will be surprised how detrimental it is to your brain and body when your adrenal glands stop producing.

PO3 Michelle Tremblay - I'm very sorry to hear this. Have you contacted their National Headquarters and Asked to get a patient advocate?

I had to specifically ask for hormone testing. When they did, the results were about 20 points above the minimum ngdl. Since they were in the "normal range" (a spread of 800 points) they wouldn't do any hrt. Got out, saw a specialist and sure enough, my numbers were still at the bottom of normal, of which normal for the range would be for an 80 year old man, not a 30 something. Getting HRT and have felt 1000 times better since normalizing the levels.

I am so glad you advocated for yourself. Many times people hear one thing from their doctors and just don't try another way. Glad you have improved your health. It's funny, Primary Care docs have a different set of levels than endocrine doctors use.
