Hi,

I was wondering if you could supply a little background information on how you approached an endocrinologist to examine your psych conditions?

I would suspect that few endocrinoligists deal with psych conditions and would not be very approachable to collecting the kind of interesting data you are looking at.

Thanks

> I saw my endocrinologist for my 24-hour cortisol urine test and hormone level blood test results - here are the results in a nut shell - even my dr. was surprised:

> Cortisol - LOW
> Testosterone - LOW
> Thyriod - LOW
> Hemoglobin - LOW

He said: "We'll most likely never know if these low levels were the cause or result of my depression....we may put you on a trial of hormone replacement and cortisol and if it doesn't hurt and you feel better - then good."
