This is no joke. I have literally nearly died three times already due to undiagnosed and untreated crashes. This information has changed my life, I know what symptoms, tests and investigations I'm putting in front of the dr and asking for confirmation now.
Great video! Finally somebody talks about taking care of caregivers! Dr. Peter Levine, the creator of Somatic Experiencing, talks about “shaking off” stress extensively in his books.
I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism, but I’m negative for Graves disease. My TSH is low, T3 high, but T4 is normal. I cannot find any literature that explains why some people have high T3 but normal T4, aside from a blanket statement. Does anyone know the reason for this if I don't have Graves or other autoimmune issues?
Well done, watching my hives inflammation fade day after day until they completely vanished was such a relief, I went with what I pointed out and within the first 10 days or so the urticaria was barely visible! I just go'ogled the latest by Shane Zormander and after 20 days my skin has never been healthier!
I only viewed the first 3 minutes of this and had to leave. Your opening film clip of the domestic abuse situation, only serves to instill the broad brush imagery of men as perpetrators and women as victims. This serves no one’s interests. This portrayal may have been used and expected 15 years ago but the stats on IPV and gender perpetration now disallow this one sided presentation that only perpetuates grotesque gender stereotypes. Maybe we can all work together to solve this rather than alienating allies who can’t sit through more than 3 minutes of your outdated version of domestic violence. Please consider the hundreds of thousands of men who suffer just like women do.
Great presentation, but hard to listen to. I wish the people who understand the science actually cared for people's health and applied their gift to figure out how to make people healthy, not just test for one marker and shove a medication into them because the pharma is paying for it!
Thank you. I was just diagnosed. I am a 62yo male and have had my symptoms for over 20 yrs. My Prolactine is over 80. so is well established at this point. First doc (GP) was lazy and 2nd sent me to a specialist that found it. Only just started treatment and its ***not*** pleasant but understanding helps. I also see changes in the first 2 weeks so hopefull ????
Why don’t the adrenals respond to the ACTH stimulation test in the case of secondary or tertiary adrenal insufficiency? I have heard it’s because the adrenals atrophy from being chronically under stimulated, but if - as this MD stated - these patients are just crawling along, would the slight albeit irregular endogenous CRH/ ACTH activity possibly prevent atrophy of the adrenals, permitting them to retain function thereby obfuscating a real diagnosis of SAI &/or TAI in an ACTH stim test? What about a massive over response to ACTH might that suggest anything?
Mine raised slightly but not enough, and my ACTH wasn’t high enough either. What about Aldosterone? Range is between 0 and I don’t remember exactly, so if your level is <=0, how do you know if you’re making any or not???
