My antidiuretic hormone (ADH)is low 0.8 and I don't pee often, maybe 6 times a day. I do notice it is in large amounts, so I think that I am not holding on to that much water.
I am thirsty most of the time, not like I am a little parched and need a drink. I mean I am in the desert and really need a drink parched.
I have a new LLMD appointment in a few days, the last doctors I have seen didn't know what to do with my hormones.
My low hormones that I know of is...MSH, ADH, Testosterone, and my thyroid levels.
My cortisol levels were a little bit sluggish.
I don't know what my VIP,Leptin, Osmo, ACTH, levels are.
I am thinking that everything from the pituitary gland might not be working correctly.
Has anyone had problems with these hormones that could give me some advice in what direction I should go with doctors?
Thanks

Mold doctor specialist Dr. S in the Maryland/DC area, and lyme doc specialist Dr. K in the Washington state area are the few who have pushed for much-needed understanding and improvement in these areas.
To really address this, I think you'll need either one of these docs, or, more accessible for sure, someone who has studies one or both of these well. An alternative is that Dr. S above does have lots of info on his website and in his book. He has this whole chart somewhere of what order to do various steps in. The wrong order can apparently be damaging. It would be possible for a smart and open and well-intentioned and generally experienced holistic doc to learn on this if they were inclined to spend that much effort on you, or inclined to let you self-direct and you could study and suggest and guide the path. Never hurts to have someone who can use applied kinesiology to determine what appropriate next steps are from your body's perspective (as books are nice, but the book has never met your body).
I have found having a good DOM/acupuncturist who performs NAET to be an invaluable member of the my team, and one reason is she handles "allergies", where the body mis-handles the glands and the hormones it does make (and food too, but off topic of your question). I don't think NAET is necessarily the answer to solving these problems, but it can help a lot in a way that other modalities just will not. In my mind, for some people, it is a necessary, though not sufficient, treatment.
One criticism of NAET is that the treatments are not permanent, and while that is my experience as well, that criticism falls as flat on my ears as would the criticism, "yes, I understand eating good food to supply my body vital nutrients to heal and function can make sense, but I will not bother since it will not last, the effect of eating today is not permanent and I may need to do so again in the future".

Yes. Lyme can really damage the endocrine system.
I take 5 hormones currently.
Low aldosterone may also be a cause of dehydration. It manages the sodium/potassium balance in the body.
