Hi. I recently posted my story here, but I want to be more precise in asking for advice.
I'm 27 years old male. My main problems right now are the following:
1) Most of the time I'm fatigued, having malaise, uneasiness, pure concentration, low-grade akathisia, brain fog.
but every little stress is able to kick me into a different state:
2) Overwhelmed excitation, extreme brain fog, extreme thirst, polyuria,
and when it happens it continues for hours. And nothing helps until it subsided with time.
I feel like it is related to cholesterol metabolism. Because I have a strange hormonal profile right now:
1) Very high DHEA-S (over the reference)
2) Low progesterone (in the reference)
3) Low morning cortisol (in the reference)
4) Very high 17-oh-progesterone (over the reference)
5) High free T (in the reference, but some years ago it was 2-fold lower)
6) My T3 and T4 are in the reference (T3 is closer to the lower range, while T4 is closer to the higher)
7) My LH/FSH is 2/1
8) A little over the top cholesterol
Here is my half-handcrafted cholesterol metabolism diagram, and I think my hormones are going in the wrong way (marked with red arrows):
(I hope you are able to open the full image)
So I wonder if it is a cause of my current problems? Why could such a shift have happened? What do you think I should try to supplement (progesterone, dhea, pregnenolone)?
I have tried topical progesterone up to the dosages of 10 mg and nothing happened. I am afraid to increase the dosage, I don't want to rise my testosterone even more.
Thanks!
