Hi I had had a quick look on growth hormone info and have complainted

to my gp, 1) : because they have refused me t3 supplemntation as 125 thyroxine

is clearly not working, 2) And about the IGF 1. There is also a long term

discrepancy in my alkaline phoshates tests (currently 389 (range 105-340).

Oestriodol is high at 215 ( 0-163) and so is SHBG - 116 (rnage 20-110) My tsh

has always been low (even on hypothyroid diagnosis- 1.79 and has only ever gone

further down). Currently tsh is 0.17 (range 03.35-5.5) FT4 13.91 Range

9.0-24.00) and FT3 3.7 Range 2.2-5.5). Been off work exhausted for 3months.

Had synacten test which was negative baseline 321 and post 3 mins 654. But I do

believe my adrenals are low and had the 24hr saliva test and my morning cortisol

was low and all dhea was low. Saying I was at at stage 3 exhaustion. GP blaming

ME !! Dummy diagnosis or what .. Im just awaiting a letter of response from

them and know there is a problem somewhere !! Any suggestions ?

Have just ordered the book you recommended !

Thanks

Dawn
