Re: Wich licorice root is better? Chinese or American?
But I'm sure my adrenal fatigue came from very heavy exercise.
I will quote some people saying how they fixed their sex drive issues.
" Prednisone took care of my ED and morning wood completely, E2 never really made a difference.....I had low cortisol"
"For SIX YEARS the only response from doctors that I got was that I have mental problems causing my symptoms, like loss of libido,
ED, tiredness, lack of motivation to do things. It was not just one or
two doctors, but SEVERAL. So yeah, I'm not at all surprised. It seems
most doctors are either imcompenent or just don't care. Luckily, my
problem was not something that would kill me because of late diagnosis,
like cancer. I turned out to be hypothyroid and have adrenal fatigue, and respond
excellently to thyroxine and hydrocortisone. Thanks to internet and
messageboards like this, I solved this puzzle."
"after only a few days on adrenal extract I have noticed a huge
improvment on my sex drive too, which was an unexpected but welcome
surprise! :D"
" i had ED with high-normal IGF-1 and Testosterone....the cure for my ED was prednisone treatment due to low cortisol... "
"I can tell you from personal experience that once i started treating my
adrenal fatigue with Cortef my sex drive started to come back, muscle
strength and size and energy levels also much better fat loss without trying.
I have my free T and total T levels before treating adrenals and im
getting them tested now during treatment im sure they will be much
higher."
"I've
been on HC for 6 months and havent loss any hair and have really good
sex drive. In fact, without Hydrocortisone I would be unable to have sex
period"
"Re: Is adrenal fatigue enough to cause NO sex drive at all
yep that would be possible
i had low test 300 and reasonable free test with low estradiol and i was able to have sex ONLY when i started HC, so before i had adrenal fatigue and nothing worked
if a person has t levels of 300-400 they can still be better off then a person at 500-600 provided that there thyroid, igf-1,adrenals, e2 are in line. I feel this is the reason why some people can function at lower T and not feel symptoms due to the fact other hormones are firing away. "
"I've tried eating hydrocortisone cream the past few days - 1 teaspoon of
1 per cert cream one time per day, and I'm getting some positive
results. First of all, I definitely feel less stress and more relaxed. I
feel more like normal. Also, my libido is finally kicking in, and I
find myself thinking about sex or fantasizing about sex frequently. And
I really, really like that. So, I'm going to keep going with it and try
to convince a doctor to test me for adrenal insufficiency. The
hydrocortisone has made a big difference for me."
"If you do need adrenal replacement, HC will help your sex drive and
performance. I know it helped me. It is my thought that your high total T
is your body's way of compensating for a lack of cortisol and thyroid. "
"ust posting to inform that licorice root HAD to have made a difference
after my first dosage. Is it really able to work that fast?
Observations:
less intrusive thoughts during intercourse and a better ability to concentrate
able to recognize climax better
more positive response to sexua| stimuli
more potent orgasm
better feeling during refractory period (post-orgasm)
Sex
appears to be fulfilling again. This enhanced (normal) refractory
period will help out big time. Outside of all this, I do feel more like
"myself". "
