Re: Re: my labs + Drs Rea & Jennings

[Guest guest]

Hi TT,That member was me, who entered alt doc MD, Dr. Lynn Jennings in the Database. You can list her on the Texas Armour Docs list if you desire, all the info should be in the Database, address, phone, etc. She will also do compounded. She had orders from TMB briefly, but they're gone now.I hope I answered this the right way....I get confused about how to continue a thread, hit reply or go down to the bottom and create a new one, because I can't get the thread to appear that way. I wanted to continue this thread, so I hit reply. ??Thanks, I learn so much from our group.Vicki K (W5EAK)

Dr. Jennings is not on our Texas Armour Docs list, which I maintain for the group. She was listed on our Database by a member. >> Glad to see Dr. Rea back in business. When I lived in Wichita Falls, my alt doc recommended I see him in Dallas for MCS, (+ FM/CFS/HypoT, more) but he did not take insurance, and on a small pension, could not afford it. I was just sick about it, because I KNOW Dr. Rea could fix me, and I could not go. NOT FAIR!!! Cry, bawl, mope on 1/4 grain old Armour. (Now 3.75 compounded).> > My WF alt doc was on TMB orders for awhile, couldn't take insurance, but that has been resolved and she is taking insurance. We are visiting in GA and I am thinking of asking for a telephone consultation with her....she "saved my life" by increasing Armour two years ago, Dr. Lynn Jennings. She thinks outside the box too, unlike my present local doctor who treats by lab results, not patient symptoms. ARGH. Loved the link to Dr. Lowe, but this doc is too arrogant to read something from the Internet, God forbid. Patient and not labs, are you kidding him???? He went to MEDICAL school! Well, cr*p, then fix me!!! He can't.> > Dr. Jennings needs to be changed in the doctor's list to accepting insurance again, if it was removed.> > Sent me to an endo, ran a Complete Metabolic Panel, didn't include RT3 which may be my problem. These are the flags: B's and folate were HIGH, White blood count was HIGH, it was a two-page test results, so I hesitate to post all here, I don't even know what all those test abbreviations mean. Bun/Creatinine was HIGH. CPK LOW, MPV LOW. ???> > TSH 0.0 (didn't use a third number, last time is was 0.02.) We backed off meds then to increase TSH, local doc freaked, BUT hypo returned BAD, so we went back up, it is SO WEIRD. Of course endo wants higher TSH, says cardiac blah blah, but I feel bad on less, and think I need more, the more I take, the better I feel, even if TSH tests 0.0. Jan, what do you think Am I totally nuts?? I am Hashi w/ antibodies, but don't know which kind. Free T4 was near the top, Free T3 in middle, Vit D 34, improving from 11, she said it was "normal." Vit D Council says 60-100. I think I need a doctor-ectomy from her.> > HAVE AT ME, LADIES AND GENTS!!!!! Thanks, Vicki K>
