my labs + Drs Rea & Jennings

November 25, 2010

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
