Re: Re: Did I give this "disease" to my daughter?

Thanks for your response of encouragement.  It's much more than I get from the endos I've seen (for my own male problems).

I have been cruising around this LOCAH BB every now and then, looking for answers, trying to make sense of it.  I am now trying to find that special endo who understands LOCAH and PCOS (those are 2 Dxs posed for my daughter's condition).

I have been trying to learn about it myself since my wife feels I cannot get any respect for my own "condition" until I prove my daughter has something more than "idiopathic hirsitism."

Is it possible that I had elevated testosterone and cortisol when I was a younger man - my daughter's is that way now - and then I now have worn out adrenals - adrenal fatigue - I read about it somewhere lately.  Supposedly too much cortisol for too long results in a worn down hypothalmus which then commands the pituitary to demand less and less testosterone - which is my condition now.  I have no idea what my testosterone was when I was young.  I do remember getting an awful lot of erections all the time whether I thought about girls or not.  It bothered me.  But now I have ED. 

But what is really getting to me is the itching of my abdomen.  When my stomach is empty in the morning, I feel normal again.  As I eat during the day, my abdo gets more and more irritated and I have to stick my belly out so my liver has more room inside. 

It's crazy, I know.  I want some answers so bad!  I don't want to ever see another doctor again.  The last one I saw was U of M's expert.  He basically called me a liar at every statement I made.  He never Rx'd a single test!  He was so adversarial from the minute he saw me.  I am so turned off about these experts that hardly know enough to be even dangerous.

So I am concentrating on getting my daughter diagnosed.  Then if it's inherited from me, maybe I can get some respect...
