Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Lupus / September 2006found out why I'm having a HORRIBLE time
My testosterone is very low.... it should be 70 and I'm at 11. Estrogen is off.... the lab messed up the thyroid panel... but I know I'm not hyper. It's so nice to know what's really wrong and why... not "just" a lupus flare.

Will they give you testerone or do you know yet? Maggie Doctor isn't sure if this is why my cycle is haywire. He did say the low testosterone was a big reason I felt so bad. And yes, I will be using a testosterone cream. According to my pain doctor, chronic pain patients have problems with their hormones. Men usually need testosterone pellet implants and women some supplementation also. Nicole <snip> My testosterone is very low.... it should be 70 and I'm at 11.

For women the primary hormone is estrogen which is key to reproduction. But women's natural testosterone is a strong influence for muscle and bone growth and for her interest in reproduction. Interestingly, researchers in animals and humans are reporting that testosterone can reduce the body's inflammatory response. There are reports that the inflammatory states of Crohn's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes vaculitis and now Lupus erythematosis may improve when treated with testosterone, DHEA and human growth hormone. These benefits of anabolic steroid therapy are, therefore, not limited only to men. http://www.usdoctor.com/lupus.htm for more info on testosterone and lupus... hugs, from Shelagh http://clik.to/lupus (sign our guest map!) Thx Shelagh My pain doctor (he's a family physician) really understands the influence of hormones in chronic pain. He does "anti-aging" medicine but it's not botox, restylane, etc.... it's about getting your hormones back to where they should be so you feel good. I'm also using a hgh releasing hormone. He wants all his pain patients on it.... especially those with fibromyalgia, autoimmune, etc....with some people, he's seen almost all their symptoms go away. For people without major health issues, he recommends starting it at 30 yo. I started it around 25 since I was sick. Unfortunately, insurance doesn't pay for it.... but it is tax-deductible since it's a rx. $175 Ironically, I went to my ob-gyn a couple weeks ago for my menstrual cycle issues (3 complete cycles in 5 weeks). The doctor didn't even draw blood. I couldn't believe it. My pain doctor ordered the labs to figure out what was going on- he fully understands the relationship between hormones and well-being. Oh but I did get a little lecture from my ob-gyn cuz I'm taking Armour Thyroid and "heavy duty" pain pills.
