Lol Spoc you make me lol cause I am in my nightgown as we speak...are you my neighbor ?? LOL...OK an endocrinologist tests all the enzymes and hormones that come from your adrenal glands..your pituitary gland, hympthalmus , pineal (sp sorry I cannot spell these )they sometimes XRay these and glands and they do the reproductive glands , theyroid and parathyroid and so many things. They test your pancreas and wow just so much. The deal is I had a enzymatic block of my adrenal glands and THAT can make you anxious and depressed TOO MUCH CORTISOL, tired and so on. The are sooo specialized they saw I had too much testosterone too..as I am female that was needing addressing. All your hormones if off can mimic and even cause emotional issues. So my thinking is until these are ALL ruled out why take meds..it MAY be a medical issue that a normal doc and or a OB/GYN would never test for or know to test for. Thyroid tests ..wow there are many and most docs do not run them all..Not many test your adrenal glands....and the tests a LOT of endcrinologists run they do insulin levles not just a 5 hr gtt, random bs or hbA1c,.there is a LOT for them to find. Hope that helps if not I can find you some sites
