Guest guest Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 Hi, Dawn, I began thyroid treatment in 1975, and in 1981 after my father's illness and death I fell apart too. So I know what you mean! I always suspected adrenals because of the stress but back then I knew nothing about it and of course, doctors wouldn't address it. They just treated me for the depression. Anyway, I'm glad you are going ahead and treating yourself to get better. Alot of people feel best with their TSH between 1 and 2, however, many do best with the TSH suppressed. So doctors continue to impede our wellness! I wish you the best! in Va. NP It just occurs to me that I haven't introduced myslef on this list. I'm on a couple of other thyroid ones and brain fog being what it is forget which one i'm replying to. I have been very ill for nealry 2 years after a major amount of stress finally collapsing last summer. At first thought it was just the candida playing up (had for 12 years but under control mostly) was dx'd with ME as my thyroid tests were normal (TSH 3.99 T4 8.19) but not convinced saw a couple of alternative therapist who agreed with me so persude Finally had urnine thyroid tersts done in April + saliva menoupause as periods getitng worse and symptoms (I'm 41) showed I had hardly and oestrogen or progesterone but mid range testosterone and flatlined cortisol & DHEA. Urine showed non conversion. Endo at local hosptial didn't beleive tests so wouldn't see me but allowed GP to do more + this time T3 and andtibodies. new results 'normal and slightly raised antibodies which mean I might get thryoid disease in future' (written like this as quoting GP) so will refer to endo now but won't give me any meds or d'x Hashimoto's TSH 4.19 range .5-6 T4 14.6 10-25 T3 1.7 1.0-2.5 24hr cortisol urine normal antibodies 880 range 0-50. I put myself on adrenal and thyroid glandulars in June and am tons better periods normalised as well I go see a private doc on tuesday to cehck I'm on the right path as fed up of waiting as had to close my business just before christmas cos my hands were so shot and am like a deranged harpie most days LOL. been checking family history fro this doc and seems like I've uncovered it in relatives in various forms which is making me very mad and doing lots of reading as well as now sending off friends to eb tested who are in similar pain Thanks for all your info it's certaily helping Dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
