What did your doctor say ?
Was your hormone panel directed at female issues or looking for TBI issues ?

I asked for the panel after hearing about endo problems with TBI here and doing some research on my own. My doctor pretty much dismissed the results. I even got it retested and got another high result. Both times I've felt non-stressed, well-rested.
I started taking some herbs to balance cortisol (e.g. rhodiola rosea) and I've noticed a slight increase. My biggest issue is light sensitivity and the rhodiola helps with that.
