I am thinking of taking my hormones tested. I looked up from the internet the list of hormones in our body. There are a lot!!! For purposes of trying to link it to the PN and to some improvements of my moods, what could be the major hormones that I should get? Estrogen, Progesteron, Cortisol, Melatonin, Epinephrine, Norepinephrine, Serotonin - which of these could be beneficial to me?

I take estrogen, testosterone, pregnenalone, progesterone, 7 Keto DHEA Thyroid, Cortisol (TINY bit at noon since I get low at 1-4pm.) They are compounded by a pharmacist.
I take 5HTP for the serotonin level. Vit D is good also. I think all work together for me, but 5HTP and SAMe have been great for mood.
When ill for so long like I have been with CFS and before that, another problem....the seratonin can really SINK. Most of the reserves of our nutrients get used up. That is why the best food and supplements and SLEEP are important.
