Adrenal vs thyroid

[Guest guest]

As I've tried to indicate before my symptoms are conflicting. For

example, I have a high heart rate and high metabolism; which I believe

normally go more with hyper than hypo. In addition, I eat like a horse

and gain no weight. Right now we're treating basically test results.

I suppose this is where I would be wanting to look more closely at your

symptoms and not the test - the TSH could be fluctuating for many

reasons - in my case I am HypoT and was symptomatic for years before my

TSH finally went up over 4...I just don't think it is a reliable

indicator - as Chuck mentioned there might be a pituitary problem but

IMO if your blood tests are abnormal and you don't have any bad symptoms

then this is the perfect time to use natural therapies - vitamins,

minerals or supplements to restore the balance - In my mind the tests

are indicating that something is out of balance but using T4 might be an

overkill if you are not symptomatic. You could go to an osteo or a

naturopath.

You aren't sick just because a doctor says you are and the opposite is

also true - just because a doctor pronounces you well on the basis of a

test doesn't mean you are either.

I hope I'm not raving too much - my brain is a bit sticky this

morning.

Adrenal vs thyroid

I'm taking Synthroid because my routine bloodwork showed a TSH level

above the norm; and because 5 or 6 weeks later it showed even higher;

increasing from 5.x to 6.x. Based upon a high and increasing TSH my

family doctor started me on Synthroid. I haven't been to an endo...
