Re: OT Thyroid Labs Confuse me..and adrenals mentioned.

Hi ,I also agree with your advice about bovine glandulars in the US, New Zealanddoes not import US or England beef, thus their beef supply is very safe...

Like I said before, make friends with the person who has the script pad!He genuinely seems interested in me because of Lyme and as I mentionedhis dad has or had Lyme, so there is some connection there... I am hoping

now that I am hyperthyroid and should still be around there when I see himin a month, the fatigue I have he may now want to check adrenals... At somepoint, I don't recall when, one of my docs ordered a 8:00AM cortisol test and

it was fine, so I think this also may have kept him from going further... I am trying to convince him to treat my fatigue, not a named illess, that wayhe will have to test me for whatever to get at this fatigue, well adrenals do

cause a lot of fatigue...I too can't find anything on a difference between women and men for adrenals,but I have heard this from two different endos now, of course they may eat at the

same sandwich shop, who knows... I am hoping because this guy is young, he may be more receptive to thinking outside the box, but I also know if I push him too quickly, he will pull back.. There

are 5 or 6 endos in this group I believe, so there may be peer pressure also.I did get Armour out of him, he told me on the first visit neither he nor his partnerswrite Armour, so it is a start... And he is very impressed with my high B12 level

from what he said and how he said it, I think I am his first patient with such a high level... Until this point, he was concerned about the supps I take, but now thatis now longer an issue... I told him, everyone of my supps serves a purpose... 

I'm reeling him in slowly... :-)Hey, good for you... I am sure your first born will get a good education abroad...I used to work with a group where high school and college students here would exchange places with 

kids from European countries, each would live in the other's home with their family's for I believe 6 months...  It was a highly successful program... You learn so much from living in a different country, all of these kids really looked forward to it...
