Spywizard,
IGF-1 is the growth hormone level=low. Have high deductible but cost reasonable from my compounding pharmacy.
Gdevine,
I suspect I have Hashimoto's disease....symptoms fit. Yes, always stressed...work,family, lack of sleep unfortunately. Am working on seeing endocrinologist ASAP.
Yes , I am an anesthesiologist. I see the workups that the local primary care physicians do and not very impressive. I am becoming very, very wary of traditional medicine....causes as much or more harm than good. Thanks for responding, I have been following your post and you seem very knowledgeable.

Hasimoto's disease is very much a high probability...as well as Adrenal Fatigue.

Make sure you find a Doc who totally understands hormone repla***ent protocols in men. There are a lot of Endo's out there who don't know squat and could really end up hurting you. Guys like Dr. John Crisler are the class of Physician's who "get it" Doc.

Only want the best for you man
