Back from doc and confused....

[Guest guest]

OK, I am back from the doctor and asked my million questions. Here

are some of his answers. Please help. What are your opinions?? Should

I go get a second opinion??

Hair loss and brittle nails? He says my T4 levels are normal so this

problem probably stems from lack of protein.

No libido? He said he can give me a testosterone injection for this.

anybody ever had this or heard of it??

Rash on face and chest? He said I need to see a dermatologist.

He did switch me to Armour so I will start it in just a couple of

days.

I am kinda frustrated cause I thought these were all symptoms of

hypothyroidism and he says the levels are perfect. He took some more

to check my triglycerides and a few other things...what is that?? He

is also going to check my cholosterol. I am 25 and weigh 115....can I

really have a cholesterol problem??

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Deanna

Lay out your thyroid levels here, De, with the normal lab reference

ranges beside them, so we can take a look and comment. Never accept the

word " normal " . ALways get a copy of your lab results.
