First was a blood test and then saliva tests all the other times. I just got home from his office and his opinion is adrenal fatigue. He said he could not make that an official diagnosis because it wasn't recognized by some part of the medical community or something. I don't understand how all that works but anyway, he said my cortisol curve is almost flat whatever that means. My testosterone level is within normal range but on the low end. He wants to hold off on HRT until we see if I can correct this by other means. So here's what he prescribed:
1) B-Complex Vitamin twice a day along with my multi
2) DHEA 50mg once a day
3) Melatonin and Valerian Root at 9:00pm each night
4) Make sure I add sea salt to at least two of my meals each day
5) Stay well hydrated (which I already do)
He also suggested I consider seeking out an experienced herbalist to get their suggestion if I felt that would be useful. I don't know of any around where I live.
So that's where it stands now. I am to see him again in 8 weeks for another round of tests.
Sounds like you've got a good doc, there.
You can go to http://www.acufinder.com to look up Chinese Herbalists.
(I don't know where you live, so I can't help much there otherwise.)
