Been ponderating a bit more.

What's your thyroid hormone status? Have you had a panel recently?

Thyroid hormone can be used to bring down cortisol. It improves hypothalamic sensitivity to cortisol.

About supplements. You can do these experiments without involving the doctors.

Tryptophan checks out as a valid trial. Serotonin also improves hypothalamic sensitivity to cortisol.

Taurine might well be good just because it is generally calming. If the subjective experience is beneficial, who needs any better rationale than that for taking it.

Phosphatidylserine. That's another one that could bring about a shift in the hypothalamic sensitivity.

There are three different glandular function/feedback loops, each having two components in common. There's the HPA (hypothalamus/pituitary/adrenal), the HPG (same, but gonadal), and the HPT (same, but thyroid).

The tingling and the tinnitus could be thyroid related. The hypogonadism is obvious (and could promote prostatitis). The adrenal link is also clear.

Maybe the nodule on your adrenal is an innocent bystander. There could be an HP link, and that usually is pituitary.

You could safely go ahead with trying some tryptophan, taurine, and phosphatidylserine. They're all good for you.
