Hi all. I repost this once in a while seeing if anyone has any similar experiences or some type of clue. Backstory - I’m 34 (F). I. Never. Sweat. Hardly, anyway. It takes a lot!!! Until now.

I took an at-home hormone test and all of my results came back normal except my DHEA-S. Can anyone help me understand what this means and what I can do to fix it?

I get bad acne around my jawline, cheeks, and no ..read more

So iabout 2(?) months ago i (18m) posted here about getting occasionally really small amounts of discharge from my nipples. It has been happening since summer last year. Its painless, and basically like a drop, always just enough that it stains my shirt (its transparent) but also that right when i lift my shirt to check it doesnt come out anymore. I went and did the blood test for prolactin and my hormones, everything is fine, did a breast and underarm lymph node ultrasound, breasts were fine but i did have a swollen lymph node under one of my underarms. They then suggested i did a head MRI ..read more

i got my blood tests done after complaining of a limited breast milk supply. btw i am around 7-8 weeks postpartum. I got a call recently that they suspect I have hyperthyroidism and hyperprolactemia. Isn't hyperprolactemia usually caused by HYPOthyroidism? and also how does high prolactin levels cause low milk supply, isn't that supposed to increase it? and how does hyperthyroidism play a role in all of this?? To give a better picture, my iron levels are pretty good, proclatin is 83.3, MCV, MCH, MCHC are all extremely low, and RDC is high submitted by /u/InvestmentPatient127 [visit reddit ..read more
