I HAVE MY RESULTS

I was right all along! I don't know if I should be upset or happy with my results. I'm happy, because I was right and I'm upset, because I've been through so much with doctors and all(telling that I'm fine). I even had an appt today with an internist for abdominal pain(had pain since August) and she told me if I would find a job than I will feel better. She didn't even check my abdominals. It's really sad.

Really...I hate doctors.

My estradiol is within the normal range. I have low progesterone, low cortisol in the noon and evening, and low T3. My summary states that I have insulin resistance, thyroid deficiency and adrenal fatigue. My DHEAS are high(just like I thought).

Thank you guys for the support :)

AWESOME NEWS TRU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [img]/community/emoticons/yeah.gif[/img]


Have you been to an Endo yet? I believe that should be the next step for both of us. Mine is on the 22nd of Jan. They'll be able to run even more tests for your Thyroid and Adrenal glands



Again, congrats. It feels great to finally know what's going on :)

Thanks! I had to push my Endo appt for Oct 31 to Dec 11(no avail Nov appts), but I will try to make it sooner...maybe my results can help me do so. I changed it to Dec, because my test results were not in yet. I was not going to another doc and be put down and told I fine and I need anti-d's.

The internists that I went to today seemed upset when I told her that I won't take an anti-d.

Today my blood pressure was 88/60. My BP has never been that low. The doc told that it was normal. Can you believe that? Can you believe that the nurse was concerned about my BP, but the doc wasn't?

I believe it.


You're on the right path. You're taking your health into your own hands. Don't let them tell it's in your head, and that you need AD's. That BS!!!! [img]/community/emoticons/mad.gif[/img]



Well, atleast your Endo is before mine. I'm actually going to make 2 more Endo appts. I know this sounds nuts, but incase I don't like what the first one says, or recommends, I'll go to the next until I do. Since they're so hard to get in with, I figured I'll make the appts now. One way or another, I will get further testing on my hormones, and I will find the right help.



You will too :)

I think that you should order the thyroid test from ZRT. I told you what doctors did to me...you know what I've been through. I've been knowing that I had a low thyroid for years, but doctors told me that my levels where better than normal.

You need your proof. MD's do not normally test for the type a thyroid problem that goes along with adrenal fatigue, which is hypothyroidism type 2(peripheral resistance to thyroid hormones at the cellular level).

Orion, you need to read that book that I posted too.

Tru, I'm glad you got your results - I'm sure it was very validating. It's too bad you have to wait so long to see the endo. I'm really hoping the endo will take your results seriously and start treatment for you.

Thanks hippimom! It's horrible, because I'm in pain daily I can't even feel happy about my results. I love the validation that it gives, but I still feel pain...so it's hard to be happy.

I believe that the endo will take my results seriously. I have low T3. When someone has low T3 they are automatically hypothyroid no matter what the other levels are.

As far as adrenals...I don't know what he's going to do.
