I am on my 3rd endocrinologist. The first one didnt have a clue as to what he was doing because his forte was diabetes. The second sort of understood the complexity...but it took the third one to even get an ACTH test ordered...which should have been done in the very first round of tests.
I am so fed up with the medical profession right now.
I probably have a genetic variation causing this sex steroid mess but it has taken many months to even get a referral to a metabolic geneticist and the appointment took as many months because so many people are looking for an appointment
From the article-"The researchers did not find a causal link, so the nature of this relationship is not known, but the paper is one of the sturdiest pieces of evidence that has highlighted this connection yet."

Bottom line is the Medical Profession don't know what causes Alzheimers.
They don't know how to treat it.
They don't know how to slow it down.
(Although they will provide prescriptions like Namenda-Donepe zil, Aricept ,etc, that may or may not slow it down.)
But they are very good at fundraising for a cure. -Tom
