Page Synopsis: Hormone replacement therapy is controversial and potentially dangerous both in potentially limiting the body's production of endegenous hormones, and in terms of possibly developing cancer.
HRT treatment makes sense as CFS sufferers hormone levels when PROPERLY tested and evaluated are significantly low (or high in the wrong departments.

Physiologic replacement of cortisol at doses of 5-15 mg/day have been shown to be safe, with little or no as.sociated risk, and have the potential for significant clinical benefit. Cortisol treatment carries significantly less risk and a greater potential for benefit than treatments considered to be the standard of care in the treatment of CFS/FM, including antidepressants, muscle relaxants and narcotics.
The current evidence supports the use of physiologic doses of cortisol as an appropriate component ofa multi-system treatment protocol for CFS and FM, and a therapeutic trial of cortisol should be considered in the majority of these patients, especially those with signs or symptoms consistent with adrenal dysfunction, low blood pressure and/or serum levels that are low or in the low normal range

'T3– I had TSH levels of 4.1 and was prescribed T3. What is considered to be a high TSH level is controversial as some doctors would consider 4.1 high and other doctors would consider this normal. Taking T3 is the single worst tablet that has affected my CFS. After taking T3 I became extremely sensitive to sound, more anxious than I previously was and became more fatigued. Dr Cheney claims that T3 is the worst hormone that you can give to someone with CFS'

Growth Hormone Deficiency (GHD)
GH deficiency as the most common pituitary defect after TBI: clinical implications. PubMed NCBI
Recent studies have demonstrated that hypopituitarism, and in particular growth hormone deficiency (GHD), is common among survivors of traumatic brain injury (TBI) tested several months or years following head trauma. In addition, it has been shown that posttraumatic neuroendocrine abnormalities occur early and with high frequency. These findings may have significant implications for the recovery and rehabilitation of patients with TBI. The subjects at risk are those who have suffered moderateto severe head trauma although mild intensity trauma may precede hypopituitarism also. Particular attention should be paid to this problem in children and adolescents. GH deficiency is very common in TBI, particularly isolated GHD. For the assessment of the GHIGF axis in TBI patients, plasma IGFI concentrations plus GH response to a provocative test is mandatory. Growth retardation secondary to GHD is a predominant feature of GHD after TBI in children. Clinical features of adult GHD are variable and in most obesity is present. Neuropsychological examinations of patients with TBI show that a significant portion of variables like attention, concentration, learning, memory, conceptual thinking, problem solving and language are impaired in patients with TBI. In the few case reports described, hormone replacement therapy in hormone deficient headinjured patients resulted in major neurobehavioral improvements. Improvements in mentalwell being and cognitive function with GH replacement therapy in GHD adults have been reported. The effect of GH replacement in posttraumatic GHD needs to be examined in randomized controlled studies.

GHD persists long after the TBI, independently of trauma severity and age at traumatic event. GH secretion is more sensitive to TBI than other pituitary hormones.

Growth Hormone Deficiency (GHD) – First and most common deficiency – Acute Injury Incidence rate: 20%. – 12 month follow up rate increases to 3540% of survivors.
TBI with GHD • Rapid weight gain • Excessive anxiety • Depression along • Deficits in: – Attention – Executive Functioning – Memory – Emotion – Cognition – Mood Anxiety/Depression • Poor overall physical health and quality of life
GH Replacement – Improvements in: • Cardiovascular Risk – Reduces IL6, Il1, cRP, Homocysteine • Concentration • Memory • Depression • Anxiety • Fatigue • Lean body mass • Lumbar vertebral bone density • 14.4 % decrease in adipose tissue mass • Skin thickness
