The endocrine system is a complex network of glands and organs. It uses hormones to control and coordinate your body's metabolism, energy level, reproduction, growth and development, and response to injury, stress, and mood. The following are integral parts of the endocrine system: Hypothalamus. The hypothalamus is located at the base of the brain, near the optic chiasm where the optic nerves behind each eye cross and meet. The hypothalamus secretes hormones that stimulate or suppress the release of hormones in the pituitary gland, in addition to controlling water balance, sleep, temperature, appetite, and blood pressure. Pineal body. The pineal body is located below the corpus callosum, in the middle of the brain. It produces the hormone melatonin, which helps the body know when it's time to sleep. Pituitary. The pituitary gland is located below the brain. Usually no larger than a pea, the gland controls many functions of the other endocrine glands. Thyroid and parathyroid. The thyroid gland and parathyroid glands are located in front of the neck, below the larynx (voice box). The thyroid plays an important role in the body's metabolism. The parathyroid glands play an important role in the regulation of the body's calcium balance. Thymus. The thymus is located in the upper part of the chest and produces white blood cells that fight infections and destroy abnormal cells. Adrenal gland. An adrenal gland is located on top of each kidney. Like many glands, the adrenal glands work hand-in-hand with the hypothalamus and pituitary gland. The adrenal glands make and release corticosteroid hormones and epinephrine that maintain blood pressure and regulate metabolism. Pancreas. The pancreas is located across the back of the abdomen, behind the stomach. The pancreas plays a role in digestion, as well as hormone production. Hormones produced by the pancreas include insulin and glucagon, which regulate levels of blood sugar. Ovary. A woman's ovaries are located on both sides of the uterus, below the opening of the fallopian tubes (tubes that extend from the uterus to the ovaries). In addition to containing the egg cells necessary for reproduction, the ovaries also produce estrogen and progesterone. Testis. A man's testes are located in a pouch that hangs suspended outside the male body. The testes produce testosterone and sperm.

Help! I think I have an endocrine disorder but Drs. say nothing is wrong...
Guest posted a question in Guest Questions
Hi Everyone! I am SO glad i found this website! I know in my heart that I have an endocrine disorder. I have recently switched to a whole new network of doctors hoping and praying this group will have help for me! So the past two years I had undergone an extreme amount of stress (loss of family member, parents divorcing, domestic abuse resolved, loss of child, loss of house, unexpected homelessness at 18, mother abandoning and relocating to another country after meeting a man online, mother having pulmonary embolism resulting with her and I finding out we both have multiple blood disorders etc etc etc) that coupled with starting a new birth control pill (which i heard raises cortisol levels). I am currently on zoloft only and have no alcohol, drug, or cigarette use ever. I am definitely MUCH better now having worked through this all in counseling/church finding great support!! But I thought I should give a back story of when it all started!! My symptoms: Rapid Weight Gain (95 lbs in one year with normal healthy diet) AND despite constant diet and exercising w/ trainer, haven't lost a POUND! DRY skin including terrible dandruff, red bumps on arms and legs, peeling skin on face with red cheeks but pimples on chin even with layers of moisturizers and lotions! Brittle nails and hair SO dry!! Unusual hair growth (not much YET but its still growing) - around jaw, neck, chest, and stomach. BAD stretch marks on stomach, arms, breast, chest, back, legs, knees, etc... To the point of looking like I was pregnant with triplets! They were dark purple, now turning white/yellow. Chronic Fatigue Chronic Muscle Pain everywhere worse in pelvic area, lower back, neck, shoulders. Short of breath but low blood pressure. Swelling of ankles and feet. Legs and arms skinny but belly and back huge! No buffalo hump on neck, though. Legs and arms frequently go numb. Constant nausea. Irregular bowel movements Frequent and urgent urination Depression/Anxiety (a lot more well managed now than before zoloft was having terrible panic attacks) Severe Hot Flashes And all of a sudden I'll get back and chest pain and have hot flashes but blood pressure still normal. Severe abdominal swelling with no cause, then goes back to normal in a few days. AND MORE! It's to the point where I had to quit my job and can't work thus leaving me unfortunately relying on fiance. I want to be my healthy self again! I was a model and competed in triathlons!! I have seen: Primary Care Neurologist Oncologist Hematologist Gynecologist/Obstetrician Cardiologist Nutritionist Personal Trainer Allergist Physical Therapist Rheumatologist Gastroenterologist None of them have been any help, trying every test in the book with everything negative. Had thyroid checked twice two years ago when all started and was normal. Also had CT scan, MRI, Xrays, POTS testing, Blood Tests, Urine Samples, Upper and Lower GI, Barium Swallow, Physical Endurance Testing, Etc etc etc etc I can't even remember the rest hahaha! And JUST TODAY my new OB/GYN suggested I try and see an endocrinologist... FINALLY! Someone who may know what she's talking about. I have NEW HOPE! Any advice or insight at all would be SO greatfully appreciated. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
