Thanks Phil for your help and email addy. I will drop you a line as soon as I finish this post.
For those of you who don't think hormones don't have anything to do with depression/anxiety need to read the book "Hormones, Health and Happiness".
Higher estrogen E2 in men can cause anxiety. The Life Extention folks say that a healthy male should be from 10-30 in estradiol. Over 30 is considered bad. I am 39. Women on the other hand need higher levels of estrogen. They are successfully treating depression in women with estogen therapy. I am not saying my E level of 39 is the whole cause. But is begs to be looked at. My Pituitary is shut down. Look at my lab work above.....
I can't go off HRT. My Pituitary was diagnosed as marginal by Endo's 15 years ago. That is why I am on HRT. I should have never done these 2 cycles last year. It was stupid with my history. I would like to see at least some recovery with the HPTA so that it is at least somewhat functional. If you looked at the labs I posted above you would see that LH is .1 and FSH was .3 not very good numbers. I would like to improve them if possible. Thanks all.
