For years I had my thryoid tested and my results were always normal. I was getting so fed up with my doctors. I had heard of a doctor in town that everyone who went to him had a thyroid problem. I had one test come back with off numbers but for a year my doctor never knew because the lab never sent him my results. So I had the test done again and everything was 'normal'. Well, I didn't buy it so I made an appointment with the doctor who's clinic is call Life Enhancement here in Fairbanks, Alaska. I got my labs done and a few weeks later he calls me on a Sunday night and he tells me to please get some vitamin D in me now and asked if I was feeling suicidal. I was so shocked because I had been feeling so low and weepy. I was severly depressed and I was ready to walk away from my family and I felt like I would be better off dead. I had tried to tell my husband how I was feeling but he thought I was being a drama queen. He's since changed his mind! Anyway I see the doctor and he tells me that I have Hypothyroidism and what I forgot to mention to him was that I was sure I had PCOS as well. My labs showed and had little progesterone and my testosterone was really high. I was also low in Dhea. This man is amazing and he literally saved my life. I thought it was the winters that were making me so miserable with all the darkness and cold. Well it was a combination of many vitamin deficiencies, thyroid and I was just officially diagnosed with PCOS. This man has women from all over the pacific northwest coming to see him. Find a doctor who specializes in natural homorome replacement.
When a doctor tests a thyroid he/she looks at 1 number. But that number isn't always accurate. It has to be broken down and that is where they find if you have a thyroid problem. I encourage you to find another doctor who will listen and trust your instincts. Going to this doctor was the best thing I ever did for myself. Because I was insulin resistant he put me on a low carb diet. Lots of green veggies and meat. I have lost 8 lbs in a month and half. My ob/gyn wants to put me on Provera to start my cycle and I refuse to take that. So Monday morning I am calling my Life Enhancment doctor to tell him of my diagnoses and he will prescribe something natural for me instead. I refuse to take provera. I'm not sure why some doctors are not more informed abouth the thryoid and PCOS. It's really sad how many women go undiagnosed. I wonder about how many years I had to suffer because some doctor was to lazy to really look at my labs. I'm glad I found this site and I hope to learn lots from you ladies.
