I'll try not to ramble, no promises. I lose concentration often. So, in Jan 2016 I went into Septic Shock. Life support 8 days, 6 weeks hospitalized, etc. Several organs\systems started shutting down and were damaged. Brain, respiratory, kidneys, adrenal glands, etc.
I've been on high doses of hyrocortisone and fludrocortisone due to the adrenals not working at all. Taking estradiol and getting growth, but I get increased\faster growth also taking spiro. Been to numerous specialists who just can't figure out my "complicated case" as they call it. I just fall a few times each week, then once in a while I just pass out. Among other issues.
My endocrinologist wants to put me on a testosterone supplement to try and increase body strength and "maybe" help with the falls. Since I get growth with estradiol only, this might be okay. Anyone have any similar type experiences? Replies greatly appreciated.
