Bleauberry - I have read your posts with great interest. You have mentioned countless people who have been in the mental health system, who later discovered underlying causes for their illness outside of the field of psychiatry.
I have an appointment with a new endo. in a week. I am typing out a brief list of symptoms and questions for her. Do you have a resource you can refer me to to print out and bring to my appointment? I don't want to bring a pile of journal articles - but maybe I could point them out to her in case she hasn't seem them; or better yet, maybe an aggregate compilation of the issues you discuss.
I am convinced the endo system is so intertwined with psychiatric issues and treatment. I am so looking forward to this appointment, and I want to be as best prepared as possible.
Thanks in advance!
