Guest guest Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Hello Sheila I don't post often, basically as I haven't much to tell yet. After meeting Dr. P and being dx. with Hashimotos Disease I decided to try and get help on the NHS first.....forever the optimist!!! I was taking Nutri Adrenal Extraand Nutri Thyro Complex as advised by Dr. P but stopped them because of the NHS tests. I don't feel well again but after years of feeling like this I can go a few more months. So far so good, the Endo was a good listener and looked at all the results from IWDL Labs showing, low ferritin, auto antibodies and low adrenal reserve. He is now doing his own tests. I had a lot of blood taken the day we met 22/11 and had a radio-active thyroid x-ray and an ultrasound of my thyroid on 17/12. He was very concerned by the results of my Adrenal Stress Test which impressed me no end. On Monday I am having a Short Synacthen Test commencing at 8a.m. in the morning. I will see my Endo on 24th January for his opinion on all the results. I have been told to eat and drink as normal before going for the test but another member thinks I should not eat after midnight and only drink the next day. Naturally for the sake of the test I want the worst reading possible so would you agree that I should go on an empty stomach. The letter says they will give me a light snack and a drink before returning home which will be 3hours later. Hope you are fully recovered after your bad fall last year and wish you a happy 2008.
