Neuroendocrinology
 

Does anyone have any information or experience in Neuroendocrinology? Any names of physicians? Anyone used Dr. Haque in MI or Dr. Gordon in CA? Thanks

EsthersDoll has worked with an endocrinologist at, I think, UCLA. Maybe someone can find the thread.

This may help...

That's her post from the thread Neuroendocrine Dysfunction

To get hormone testing done, not necessarily treatment but just testing, do you have to go to an endocrinologist?

Esthersdoll, I would love to speak with you further concerning Dr. Friedman. Can I provide you my contact information? Thanks so much, Reed

Laupala, Many doctors will test your hormones. Look for doctors who have an interest or specialty in life extension or maximizing performance. Expect to spend about $1500 for the basic testing and consult and maybe more. Few of these doctors are covered by insurance unless you find someone who can justify a medically necessary reason.

Dr. Gordon in California will test all your blood levels for 1750.

Hello! Sorry, I haven't been around in a while... just did a random google and found this thread. I'll log back in soon to see if there are any additional questions.

I'm doing so much better than I was with the HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy.)

I even "met" someone on another forum who suffered a concussion and ended up with hypopituitarism, like me, and who got all better after 7 years of HRT! :D

interesting to find this thread right now I have been diving down the hormone rabbit hole as of late.

It seems to be a fairly common occurrence for people that have tbi at some point and for some will take years to develop. I will be interested to hear how it goes for anyone else, I just had my hormones tested and am waiting for results

I had to request it the doctor didn't seem to rink there was much reason to, I am in good shape and manage to exercise, but after reading about it I think it's something we all should do down the road at some point.

YouTube Dr Brandon Brock, he has some interesting takes on concussion and things we can do, lots f which is already recommended on the stickies but I came away with a better understanding of what might be taking place between my ears, and more specifically in the pituitary gland, he is working on a paper right now to do with vets, and if I recall right up to 66 percent had a testosterone deficiency and something like 40 percent had growth hormone deficiency...

I have a habit of grasping at any straws I can find but I have started taking just natural testosterone boosters and placebo or not I feel better.
