herb fisherThanks 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...
