Guest guest Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 I saw my doctor, the only one I thought had some clue ,this morning. Well this false! He went over my labs ,and said that my EBV levels are high, and that my thyroid was good. That I can take HC, but only should take it twice. Not after mid morning. He then preceded to tell me that I should have IV therapy in his office twice a week. That is $150 a session, I do NOT have hat kind of money,I tried it twice last year, and honestly I do not think it was worth it. We did discuss I should go on a gluten diet , which I am going to read up on and start. I brought up the B-12 that he gave me Cyam whatver spelling it is and he said he has tried both on patients and the Methyl kind is much more expensive, and there is no real studies that one is better than the other. He said my Iron was good. I feel like crap! Each year has been worse. When I got home, I had to cry ,I was so fusterated, and plain tired of it all. I am still going to take my salvia test in week and a half and post results. I came home and had to lie down I feel so drained. I will post my thyroid tests again so someone can tell me if I am low or he is right ,they are good. As well as my Iron levels. Reverse T3 - 12 range : 11-32 Free T3 - 285 range : 230-420 Free T4 0.62 range - 0.78- 2.19 TSH - 2.52 - range 0.40- 4.50 Iron and TIBC: Iron - 109 range 40-175 UIBC- 165 range 110-370 TIBC- 274 range 250-450 Transferrin Sat % 40 range 15-50 LH 2.7 Progestorone 1.7 All these were taken a couple days before my menses. It has been so long since I have been functionable.The isolation due to feeling so tired and sick it killingme slowly. I called my Pdoc to see if there is something we can change for now as I am in a bad place. I keep crying and after the doc was so matter fact like I do not know what to say all we can do is try more IVs and wait. I paid $235 to see him today ,thatwas to go over labs and how I am no doing well and sublingual vitamin D and some proton greens to mix in a juicer when I have the strength to make juice. I do not have alot of support from my family as they just can get quick fixes and I am beyond stressed here. I am lossing hope. I am sorry to be negative ,but it took me years to get on the right combo of medications for my clinial depression and now I physically can not get any forward movement. If anyone knows of a good doctor in Las Vegas please let me know. Thanks, a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 a I am SO sorry you had this bad doctor appointment. He is DEAD wrong. I would liek to se HIM function wiht thyroid levels as low as yours! It is typicalk of idiot doctors to see in range labs and think you are FINE in spite of havign so many symptoms. Get your saliva tetsiung done and we will help you self treat if you are bold enough to do that.I have been for abotu 14 years now as I am just TOO damned sick adn tired of doctors being paid while they ruined my health to go hunting for another that I doubt would have a clue. Yup I am MZ anti-Doc here. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 I will do the test and post as soon as I get the results. When th time comes I will ask for a list someone can email me so I can get thyroid. Iam blessed my Fibro doc will prescribe me HC. He does not know anything about thyroid but he has been good in other ways and the only one who has any compassion. When you say my labs show normal, they are normal and you are going off my symptoms? I am very grateful I have thick hair, so no issues with that knock on wood. My color is pallor for the last three years. I have to take a pain pill (one) at least twice a week and it is like taking an advil. For me I do not like them as they can cause a low mood and I do not need more of that. My Psych doc is compassionate like my Fibro doc. My psych doc calls me and is quite supportive,but he is not knowledgeable about the phyicall issues I have. He is willing oto speak wihth one of my docs if I find one that knows how to help me. Do you feel my Iron is ok? Should I start B-12. I am currently taking Mag citrate which I have to back off of for a couple days as it is bothering my stomach and I take Omega 3 and calcium with D. II would go to a hospiral to get me off me meds and rebalances a bit , but I have tried last summer and called so many places and they al say we do not do that we only take drug addicts . I know there is more for me to do in this life. I just hope it is GOD'S will for it to come to fuition sooner than later because I am trapped and I want to get out. I do think the HC dosing will help. the confusion is am I hypothyroid in my #;s which I know does not really matter or am I hypthryoid by what I am telling you my symptoms are.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 IN RANGE thyroid labs do not mean you are not hypothyroid! MOST of the THOUSANDS of eople I have talked to online and personally about thyroid for the last 15 years have had in range thyrpid labs! The thyroid lab ranges are HORRIBLE! They have been lowered as there are so many hypothyroid people now thta NO ONE was reaching the top of the ranges dso the idiots rather than declaring a worldwoide epidemic of thyroid disease liek they should have, just moved the ranges lower so people would fit in. Sorry we are stil sick at the bottom of those new ranges! My Free T3 is 6.2 which is top of the OLD ranges they used to use. Here is a site that still has the original thyroid lab ranges: http://www.endocrineweb.com/TFT.html Though these ranges were too broad and needed to be narrowed they fdid nto need ot be lowered, btu the bottioms raised! -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
