The National Sleep Foundation reports that people who sleep less than 6 hours each night have a higher body mass index than people who sleep 8 or more hours. While sufficient sleep is important for anyone attempting to lose weight, it is particularly vital for those who suffer from hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism leads to fatigue and sluggishness, which leads to two problems.
I did see a few names that were listed by The Hormone Foundation and the former Thyroid Association of America.
As well, Which testosterone? Free, total? Did you have a sex binding hormone test done? All this would be part of a comprehensive androgen check.
The thing with hormones that docs seem to fail to remember from their training - is that they work in feedback loops. So if testosterone is low, other things are working overtime high to make up for it or not functioning at all - so the loop is broken. And since the androgen can come form the pit or the adrenals, they need to test you well.
Yes you read that right. My wife has LOW cholesterol and below the bottom of the range LDL.
I have tried searching on-line and the search engines only bring back results to LOWER LDL, despite my entering in "increase" or "raise".

For the last couple of weeks I have had very invasive thoughts concerning the pregnancy, worried about a molar pregnancy (with no foundation for the worry). I am also extremely bothered by things that look like clusters or group of cells. They give me the creeps and make me nauseous.
I have had depression for years, well controled by taking a small dose of buproprion daily, which I have continued to take despite the pregnancy.
To be honest I feel like I am going crazy. Am I OCD?

There is the magic foundation that is helpful for children and growth issues, both with too much and too little GH (growth hormone).
