Unbelievable stupid Drs.

[Guest guest]

I ran across this post on another medical forum for s disease.

It was my first visit there just out of curiousity. BTW, You are not

allowed to post ANY links to another site on this forum. I could not

even direct her to any other information. Grrrrrrr. I felt so bad

for her. I'm sure many of you can relate. Here is the post:

Thanks for all the info. Can you just have stressed or fatiqued

adrenals (meaning a temporary condition) and it not be 's

(which to me, if I understand correctly is a permanent condition)?

I have been hypo for 30 yrs and have been taking 2 grains of Thyrolar

for most of that time and haven't had any symptoms and felt fine. A

new doctor (3 yrs ago) checked my thyroid in order to get my

prescription renewed. My TSH was like .54 (not out of range) and my T4

was in top 1/3 of range (not out of range). He didn't check my Free

T's so I can just imanage it would have been even lower. He cut my

meds in half and put me on Synthroid. Within a few months I could

hardly walk. I went to another dr. and had labs done and my FT4 was

below the range. During that time I was also under a lot of stress and

I just figured cutting meds so drastically, taking away all of my T3

by changing brands, and the stress I was under just had to stress my

adrenals and I have never been the same since. Can't get my levels

back up to where they should be without being sensitive to meds

causing bp to rise and TSH suppressed. My TSH has NEVER been more than

1.3 even when I was severely hypo.
