If, on the other hand, they are entitled to discuss your state with your health care givers, then perhaps your hormone levels are worth looking into - as long as this is something the doctor has talked to YOU about it.But either way, I'd be concerned if he's talking to them about one thing and not to you.
Just my take. Hormones sure can be responsible for a lot of differing physical states.
