Guest guest Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 My experience has been that endocrinologists do not believe in Reverse T-3 disorder. As a matter of fact, they are the physicians that routinely file complaints with state med boards against the " good " doctors who actually treat hormone imbalances that usually begin with and include thyroid at any age. You can read about the thyroid connection with Dr. Kent Holtorf at Holtorf Medical Centers. He was founder of the California Fibro and Fatigue Centers, and is board-specialized in Anti-aging, the type of practitioner you need to do the full work-up, and medicate you with compounded bio-correct medications rather than synthetic ones that make you fat and cause cancer. You can also view the subject on the ProHealth website library, www.immunesupport.com. Kent Holtorf has numerous articles posted there on how to treat a dysfunctional hypothalamic/pituitary/adrenal axis. Also, Dr. Klimas, M.D. at Miami University School of Medicine and VA Hospital has written numerous articles on the bio-markers for CFIDS and GWI. In her afterword to Dorothy Walls book, " Encounters with the Invisible " she lists 4 dysfunctions in each patient. The thyroid dysfunction is part of the Neuro-endocrine disorder. That is why an endocrinologist will miss the imbalance 9 times out of 10. Any gynecologist can usually find a neurologist who recognizes that pain and some other factors are not endocrine disorders. Other than that, you might search for any doctor who specializes in anti-aging (hormones). There are at least 8,000 board specialized across this nation.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Rose, The url for the article is: http://www.chiroweb.com/archives/08/26/17.html It does make one wonder. Along with hypothyroidism and thyroid conversion problems causing fibromyalgia like pain, Vitamin D deficiency will do the same thing (and cause low immunity, depression, etc).
