Well I went through my concerns with him, how my main problems right now are depression and anxiety, and how my gp and pdoc think there may be an endocrine condition underlying and CAUSING that....he took everything down, and I'm getting some tests done...
24 hour urine for cortisol and creatinine, TSH, T3 and T4 (free), prolactin, and 17-OHP....
I just hope I can get some answers, I can't keep feeling this way.
