Results from Unsure of what tests to request

[Guest guest]

Thank you all again for your suggestions and support. I went to the

doctor and she ordered a SED rate, Comp panel for liver, kidneys,

and glucose, Vit b-12, Vit D, and TSH. The SED rate, liver, kidney

and Vit b12 were in the " normal " range. (I think the b12 is still

on the low side though) I have the actual numbers but didn't want to

bore you all.

 

The Vit D was low and she wants me to supplement 2,000 IU daily.

TSH showed I had an underactive thyroid. I guess the normal range

from my doctors office is .48 to 5.9...though I've read on the

internet that a few years ago they changed the normal range down to

3.0 and that a lot of doctors are having a hard time going to the

new range. Anyway, mine was 8.25!! They started me on Synthroid

and I know I've only had a few days on it but I'm starting to feel a

little less worn down. Guess time will tell for sure. Could be I

want it to be since I've felt so yucky for so long.

 

My glucose was 124, guess normal range is between 70-99 so they want

me to come back in 6 weeks for a fasting glucose test along with

testing my thyroid to see if medicine needs to be adjusted.

 

I know this isn't " natural " methods but at least I've gotten some

answers and can research where to go from here.

 

Thank you all again.

well - as you say at least you have some answers and a place to start

from. Sometimes half the battle is getting to a point where you don't

feel so awful all the time so you can pursue more natural methods.
