> So far, they've only tested T3, T4 and TSH. I asked for further tests and they said that if the above tests are normal, there is no reason to do further testing. I know that is incorrect. I know something is wrong with me. In addition to the symptoms I listed, I am also always cold, just as you mentioned. Yes, I have visited that website you mentioned. It's excellent! It's one of the best sites I've seen. I will look into one of those tests by mail. I know something is wrong. I feel awful most of the time. The problem is that in order to get a good medical evaluation, I have to be persistent and energetic, and I just don't have the energy to deal with all of the hurdles in the medical system right now.
I know. I'm in a similar situation with regard to some health issues (including my thyroid). Unless you are lucky enough to have wonderful doctors, it takes soooo much effort just to get adequate health care. I don't have the energy for it now either unfortunately.
