im currently a college student and a occupational therapy major and deaf...my interpreters dont really "use" your signs....they are too confusing and not that easy to sign while the teachers are talking in a fast lecture but if you were slowly explaining whatever youre saying, you could be signing that but sometimes its better to...spell out, or "point" in the lecture slides and etc, but i agree that there arent that many easy to sign...terms!!

I have seen the sign for hormones as "feelings" but initizlized with the letter H, similar to what you used. Also I believe the sign for diabetes is a regional one, when I lived in a different state I saw it signed same a "sugar", now in my new state I have often seen it on the arm, initialized by the letter D. :)
