I'm in the same boat. I've asked my doctors to test my hormones more times than I can remember....I've asked 3 separate physicians. One of them, a female doctor said "I wish I could test them because I'm sure it's contributing but they don't let us do that anymore". What? They won't even tell me if I'm in peri menopause or not. My current doctor said that hormone replacement would be more harmful than helpful. I'm going to research this fully once my brain can comprehend medical jargon efficiently. Good luck to you.
