Hi John...I believe your adrenals are fatigued/exhausted, which can give you allergies, sensitivities, anxiety, easily startled, hypoglycemia, low testoterone levels...are you also feeling "tired but wired"? Are you sweating, craving sugar and/or salt a lot..in a state of constant "fight or fight" response? Is you doctor holistic enough to have you take a saliva test for adrenal profile to measure DHEA and cortisol?? Mainstream blood tests and urine tests do not tell the story with adrenal fatigue...mainstream doctors do not acknowlegdge that there can be anything wrong with the adrenals unless you have a life threatening illness such as Cushings (too much cortisol) or Addison's (too little cortisol) either extreme of cortisol which is over or under normal ranges can indicate adrenal fatigue or more extreme, exhaustion...but with proper treatment, they are very resiliant and can rest and recharge...Janis
