Re: For Purple Pixie and thread below

Hey Wired, Just saw this message - I havent tried posting in the thread below - has it been locked?

The correlation to high T and low C seems to be very strong. Interesting you have this too.
Even when i wasn't specifically researching this link i would find information bringing this issue up - and i would think 'there's the high T, low C link again'.

What causes it?
It's a rabbit hole i've jumped in a few times - still no firm conclusions.

Women with PCOS have high T - and the 'conventional' thinking of MD's and mainstream medicine is that it is caused by high Insulin.
So i looked into studies on this - and not all women with PCOS have high insulin.
Hmmmm...
Then i find out that they diagnose women with PCOS even if there are NO OVARIAN CYSTS and the women just have high T!

One study openly admitted that they are not sure if High insulin causes high T, or the other way around.
High T can cause hypoglycemia in some.

I tested my blood Sugar regularly...when i would feel 'hypo', shaking and sweating, weakness - my blood would be around 6.4 - no problems with the blood!
My dad is type 1 diabetic so i have an inkling on the symptoms and levels of hypo's. My blood shows fine levels - good pancreatic function - yet i have very high T and low C.

Also another angle - if you know your estrogen levels?...High T women tend to have high E due to aromatase converting all that excess T to E. It can happen also in men. Do you know your E levels.
My E levels are very deficient - during ovulation. It suggests i have all this T floating about and it's not converting to E2.

If we can bring more ideas to the table about high T and low C causations - root causes - we can figure out how to fully heal.
I'm beginning to think it's not adrenal dysfunction but another endocrine dysfunction that AFFECTS adrenal function. The adrenals are fine but are being swung out of whack by the other abnormal hormone levels.

It's one helluva rabbit hole isn't it?!
