Hormonal imbalance

Symptoms are overlapping for many hormonal imbalances. One theory for this phenomenon is that nature has its own "insurance". If one hormone is out of balance, another hormone may somehow compensate for its function. The symptoms are many and can be vague such as chronic fatigue, sleep disturbance, decreased libido, depression, anxiety, poor concentration, lack of motivation or ambition, body ache or fibromyalgia, headache, immune compromise, exercise inefficiency, weight loss or gain, decreased or increased appetite, dry skin/hair/nails, etc. The best way to find out what hormonal imbalance you have is through blood tests. Other tests may not be as reliable. Full hormone panel is recommended for fast and definitive diagnosis. If your primary doctor or endocrinologist are unfamiliar with or reluctant to order the tests for you, try to find a local doctor knowledgeable in bio-identical hormone replacement. Search the Web for www.BioIdenticalHormoneSociety.com and ask for a referral. You should expect to see improvement in 6 to 12 weeks once on treatment.
