Testosterone use and problem with adrenal glands?

[NorCalTRT]

Anybody know of correlation between test and problems with the adrenal gland getting out of whack. Test level about 1000. Estrodiol was in check.

Symptoms are pins and needles/pain in hands and feet, flushing, itchiness. Triggers causing symptoms are heat, stress, any kind of exertion. It has gotten worse as the temps increase. The other day was driving in traffic; weaving, braking, passing, usually drives my wife crazy but I usually have no problem, but it did. Even playing a video game gave me a problem.

May not be related to testosterone use and doctor is doing test of 24-hour urine sample but I thought I would ask if there is any info here.

It's not testosterone. How are pins and needles in hands and feet related to your adrenal glands?

There is a condition known as adrenal fatigue. Test has been used to jumpstart the adrenal glands. My condition seems to be from overactive adrenals, that in turn is causing a chemical imbalance.

Testosterone is one of those ubiquitous molecules that affects just about everything in us men. One of the connections that few men realize is that testosterone even affects your adrenals, the "stress glands" of the body. The adrenals are the endocrine glands that sit next to the kidneys and produce such critical stress hormones as cortisol, ephinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine (noradrenaline). However, the adrenals also make an important stress modulator, DHEA that acts in a complimentary fashion to cortisol in particular. The adrenals even make a little testosterone, although you get most of your T from the testes of course.
