    High Cortisol, Low Thyroid, Low Testosterone


    My bloodwork came back and my cortisol is high, low thyroid, and low test.
    I have to imagine this is why I do not see any results when I take steroids at all. I read that high or low cortisol causes hormone receptors to be immune to hormones.
    Can anyone explain this more?

    I took liquidex on ALL of my cycles. I'm not using any roids right now but I take calcium d-glucarate to combat symptoms of high estrogen, even though my bloodwork dosen't suggest high estrogen. I still have water retention and fatty thighs/butt.

    So how much does that test cost? My estro is 7! WTF right? I got a fat ass and thighs, now that were letting it all out like that =-)
    Yea when my blood levels of estro came back really low, and low shbg I thought "yea fck that". I guess blood levels dont mean anything, its the symptoms.
    Either way, if t3 or steroids arent doing **** for me then its probably a problem with my cortisol (like my test results show as well). Doc will probably presribe me HC when he sees me on Tuesday. I'll give the HC a couple of days then hit some T3 and see if I feel any effects (heat, hunger, etc.)
