Hi Everyone, Man I have to say I am so fed up with the medical profession. Im am so sure that I have a low thyroid problem. Comeon, my symptoms are no energy, poor concentration, cold intolerence, hair falling out, No Sex Drive (not diminished but Nada, Zilch, Zero), PMS , irritablity and my early morning temperatures under the armpit before I get outta bed are as follows: 97.3
97.0
96.4
96.6
96.3
These are this weeks numbers and they are worse (lower) than 2 weeks ago (all in the low 97s). OK Im sick and tired of being sick and tired. I called to get in to see a DR.(which I typically avoid like the plaque cause they just want to pump me with antidepressants). Couldn't get in so I went to urgent care hoping they'd refer me to an endocrinologist. NO, they took my blood, again (went through this 2 yrs ago and everyhting was "normal"). And again today my TSH came back "normal" and they say I don't have a goiter so Im probably not low thyroid and "blood tests are pretty accurate". Accurate my butt, everything I have read on this subject shows they are NOT accurate! I just want help! And I want to use my insurance so I can benefit so if I do need something it will cover it. They said the T3 and T4 results will be back in on tuesday (3 days). It is maddening when everyone thinks its "all in your head"! I know my adrenals are bad and have low blood sugar along with merc poisoning that Im healing from but what the heck to I do now? Should I go back to my primary care physician (another one) and insist I get a referal to the endocrinologist? I wouldn't be surprised if there was more hormonal issues going on too. Pray I don't shoot these conventional medicine Drs. Sorry if I seem whiney Ive about had it though. Id appreciate any in put. Im tempted to just buy my own Armour and try it out for a month. Thanks you guys for listening. Diane

PS. By the way, since when is hair falling out, being cold all the time, and low body temperatures a symptom or sign of depression?
