weight loss/ allergy tests via bloodwork (Success Anyone?)

[Guest guest]

Hey Val,

Happy to report I am feeling better on Cytomel. Pulse still around

100 and BP 118/76 today at the doc. We are both in agreement that I

need to now clear out the RT3, since the T4 is gone.

Anyway, the doc wants me to do this really comprehensive blood test

that tells you if you are allergic to over 400 different things. The

catch is...you have to be off steriods (4 days) and antihistimines (2

days) prior to the test.

I could probably handle the antihistimines, however, I have not gone

w/o my 20 HC for the last year and 1/2. What happens to the body if

you go without HC for 4 days? Could I really cause myself some harm?

Also, do we think once the RT3 clears I will be able to take some of

this added weight off? How long did it take you once you cleared RT3

to be 100% back in balence and lose weight?

Thanks,

Jen

P.S. Anyone else had good luck with allergy testing via bloodwork?

This test costs around $900, but if it cures the hives I have had for

4 years (daily) I would pay double. Let me know if you've had luch
