High cortisol isn’t a health concern for most people, despite claims you may have seen online. Wellness influencers blame cortisol for a host of ailments, including bloating, fatigue, irritability and overly “puffy” faces and waists.

Any #science #endocrinology #doctor types or knowledgeable patients out there?

Have some questions before I spend money I don’t have re #DHEA & #pregnenolone.:

I’m trying to find a good compounding chemist in #Melbourne #Ausralia to compound DHEA (it’s illegal in Aus to buy off the shelf, need compounding prescription & permit- got both).

BUT! I’m getting confused by the chemists. Some say I must get a DHEA troche or a capsule will convert straight to #estrogen or #testosterone, no chance to tap DHEA receptors (unsure if they exist). I’ve also read it modulated other receptors before being metabolised.Wouldn’t I be better off w a cream in that case? Other compounders say there’s no difference. BS?

I thought #pregnenolone
might help more. It’s the ‘mother hormone’, right?
Since I caught #COVID19 I’m mostly producing low hormones but it varies. Cortisol normalised, still on thyroid meds, oestrogen shot up, no DHEA or testosterone…plus much more going on.

#DHEA: Can anyone w science background/knowledgeable patient help with this?
I’m trying to find a good compounding chemist (DHEA illegal in Aus without compounding prescription & permit- got both)

BUT! I’m getting confused by the chemists. Some say I must get a DHEA troche or will convert straight to #estrogen or #testosterone as capsule, no chance to tap DHEA receptors. Ive also read it taps & modulates other receptors beforehand. Wouldn’t I be better off w a cream in that case? Other compounders say there’s no difference. BS? Halp.

I thought #pregnenolone might help more. It’s the ‘mother hormone’, right?
Since I caught #COVID19 I’m mostly producing low #hormones but it can varies (some up, others down, some normalise after a time. Cortisol normalised, still on thyroid meds, oestrogen shot up, no DHEA or testosterone… much more.

Can anyone help? I’ve been through multiple doctors, asked pharmacist and they all contradict themselves and each other or don’t know what either home does.

Don’t ever get #ChronicIllness

You’ll up relying on people who don’t know how medicine works. Very few knowledgeable people.

Has anyone taken raloxifene (as non-binary feminising HRT), and not subsequently switched to oestradiol (E2)?

The poll's really just in case someone says "yes" but doesn't want to comment. I'm happy to receive answers in the far future. (I'm trying to study endocrinology through the medium of anecdote.)

The study in mice concluded that eating fewer calories—caloric restriction (CR)—had a greater impact on lifespan than intermittent fasting (IF), revealing that very low calorie diets generally extended an animal’s lifespan regardless of their body fat or glucose levels—both typically seen as markers of metabolic health and aging.

Funny thing about thyroid problems and dyscalculia: the way TSH is calculated is super confusing to my brain, so I read it as my TSH being high. Turns out it's low, but it has been for long enough, (and far enough out of healthy range) for my endocrinologist to be concerned.

So I have Subclinical Hypothyroidism.

Any #pwME have Thyroid issues?

I may have Hyperthyroidism which is so interesting to me, since Hypothyroidism was ruled out before I was diagnosed with ME/CFS almost 2 decades ago and my thyroid panel was always a little low until very recently.

Is it true what my endocrinologist says, that blood tests for progesterone aren’t informative for trans women and that we just have to try what dosage works best?

Vision changes, yep
Migraines, yep

Eye scan shows … OMGOSH what is that? WTF?!

Are you trans and on feminising hormone therapy?

My citizen science survey on HRT and wellbeing is still open:

Does anyone have any idea how fast octopamine decays as an aqueous solution?

If not, would you consider boosting?

Alternatively does anyone have an HPLC or UPLC and would be up for a quick little collaboration effort? Undergrad-led project at a PUI!

Looks like more of an adrenal incidentaloma day today. Perhaps we are getting through the backlog of PHPT after all.
