Reply #30: Wow--it's a relief to hear others have been through

[bliss_eternal]

what I'm going through. Thanks SO MUCH for sharing this MorningGlow! While it's nice to hear you know personally how I feel, it sucks that you had to suffer so much prior to getting an appropriate diagnosis and treatment.

I went today! :thumbsup:

I showed the md my prior saliva test results, blood work, etc. He immediately said I was low on some hormones. While the nutritionist that initially assessed the test for me had said everything was normal--(w/exception of the progesterone to estrogen ratio).:eyes: So I was kind of peeved that even my ND (naturopath) didn't pick up on that. All this time that I felt "off" and been so miserable...almost everything was low--my estrogen, progesterone, DHEA, etc.

Or should I say, everything was in the normal range, but he saw it as "low" normal. Low enough to create symptoms for me. :eyes::(

He's starting me on the natural hormones first, to get that aspect in balance. Then when I see him in a month he wants to give me something for my thyroid. :bounce:

I'm so relieved to actually have a diagnosis, and to know I'm not "fine" like the other doctors tried to tell me. I also feel better knowing I'm not crazy for feeling, I wasn't "fine."
