Quick Q on antibodies and a yay! success-so-far post

[Guest guest]

Ok, impressed with the endo mostly so far.

Very nice, he did get a bit tetchy in a you're-telling-me-how-to-do-my-job way

when we discussed antibodies but that was it - otherwise very helpful and keen

to get me sorted out.

We were both running late - his appts were behind and I got lost - so didn't get

a proper consult done today just a quickie, however the plan now is to get all

the testing done then reconvene in 4 weeks and get started properly with all the

info.

He's doing all the tests except the antibodies (and I suspect candida, I asked

him to reiterate what he was ordering and he just said 'sugar' for that so I

reckon probably diabetes being tested for again).

I asked about that and he said he doesn't think it would be relevant in my case

- I pointed out about my sister having Hashimoto's, and he rattled off some

stuff about everyone probably showing antibodies and it being a very misleading

test, and him not wanting to mislead myself or him by having an erroneous result

show for that.

Smacks a bit of BS to me but I'm still not too familiar with the antibodies side

of things so thoughts, anyone?

He did listen when I talked about adrenal fatigue, predictably I'm having the

short synthacen test. I'll be looking into getting a 24hr test done in the

meantime, and candida too - am I right in thinking that one is an antibody test?

Is it something I can order privately like the adrenal 24h?
