		<description><![CDATA[Thank you for your reply. I do have an Rx for the following tests which I have to take to a local lab for a blood draw: Free T4, Free T3, TSH, Reverse T3 (serum), Thyroid Antithyroglobulin antibody, TPO antibodies and serum ferritin. I also ordered these test online on my own. I would be happy to contact you after they are done and FAX you the results. Thank you again in advance!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Your doctor using ADHD meds to treat you fatigue is a &lt;strong&gt;very&lt;/strong&gt; questionable decision--especially in a confirmed thyroid patient.  I think you need more advanced thyroid blood tests (eg: FT4, FT3, TSH, and especially RT3).  I use the RT3 test to diagnose patients who are converting the T4 to abnormal RT3 instead of the normal T3--which is very common in adrenal fatigue.  Since that you are off your meds, now is the perfect time to run these blood tests.  If your doctor wont do it, find someone who will.  I practice in Washington State and can prescribe tests here.  If you live in another state, get them done and I can help you interpret them through remote appointments.  Be well!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m glad you are running the saliva Cortisol/DHEA-S tests.  I suggest you get some professional help to interpret the test results.  If they look normal, we should think about some more advanced thyroid tests--that conventional endocrinologists have been painfully slow to adopt.  If you are in the Seattle area, we can make an appointment. If not, you can email a PDF or fax them to me, and then we can do a Skype/phone or email appointment.  My contact information and services are found on my website.  Be well!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What if you can&#039;t find a doctor who is willing to do any testing beyond a single resting cortisol and ACTH test? I had these tests done 2 weeks ago and they were normal. However, I have all of the symptoms of stage 3 adrenal fatigue. Not to mention being hypothyroid since 1974. I am doing a saliva cortisol/DHEA-S test this weekend on my own. I am also desperate to be heard and finally find relief from these horrendous symptoms. I have to admit...at Christmas my friend, who is a veterinarian, gave me some prednisolone and I took about 7 mg in the morning and 3mg in the afternoon for 2 days and those were the best 2 days in my life in around 30 years! Please...any help or advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you!!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some of my other symptoms are: cold hands and feet, I feel chilled when I shouldn&#039;t be, loss of hair, my eye lashes and eye brows even shed, I don&#039;t have much hair on my body either,  being of a Italian heritage I should be hairy like the rest of my family but I am not.

Right now my dr has taken me off my thyroid meds for a few weeks so I can get a thyroid uptake scan done. I have not been off my meds since I started them in 2009. She put me on adderall to help with my fatigue about a week before I stopped the thyroid meds. It seams to help but now I&#039;m very constipated and I actually have a appetite this is very odd to me. I used to never eat because i never felt hungry now I feel as if I don&#039;t eat I will get sick. I wouldn&#039;t say I over eat or anything but instead of no breakfast I now eat a banana or a cup of cereal, and for lunch a half of sandwich instead of no lunch, I still don&#039;t eat all my dinner but at least I am eating. I did have to up my dosage of adderall this week I&#039;m on my second week of no thyroid meds and feeling very tired and worn out again. Some days I feel so tired that it makes me feel sick. I ache all over, feel nauseous, get really mean and snippy, and I feel like cannot go on one more minute unless I lay down. I absolutely hate this feeling even though this is not new or due to the change in meds I am most defiantly not willing to just deal with it. It is the main cause for me to be searching medical advice and solutions. I trully am at my witty end!]]></description>
