Re: Endocrine issues; check out the very first page of this subforum. There's a link to a Medscape article on this topic which you may find useful.

After many years and injuries, the off/on endocrine issues are showing up in my labs. Last visit with my PCP, he pushed for an endocrinology consult. I had to decline with regret due to lack of healthcare dollars. Next year, maybe I can swing it.
If you have an endo in your area that you trust, a workup, including MRI of the pituitary is a darn good idea IMO.
