Guest guest Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 thanks Hollis, Dr Gerwin tested iron and D and thyroid, I haven't gotten results yet. I know that the ointment effects me, regardless of what marvel says, Im not using it anymore. I finally got my period today and my pcp appt isn't until friday, so I am going to call tomorrow to see if she can fax over a script so I am within the 3 day time frame. Ugh, Im sure that will go over like a lead balloon- so much redtape! wow, you really know ur stuff with these levels, if you don't mind, when I get my new results ( providing she can do this for me tomorrow) I will email you them. thanks!

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 You might want to check into saliva testing for hormones. I hear it is more accurate. I know I've in the past had blood tests for hormones and they always come back " normal " even though my symptoms suggest something has been wrong for some time. Maybe someone here knows more aobut that and can offer advice there too for you. > > Hollis or anyone else- > > What should one specifically ask for to get tested when you have a blood > test done for hormones > > thanks > > Carol > **************Make your life easier with all your friends, email, and > favorite sites in one place.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Hi, Perhaps the question should really be, if one has messed up hormones, is-- what causes the hormones to have been disrupted and messed up? And does it do any good to supplement if the cause is still causing them to be disrupted? Arline Hollis or anyone else- What should one specifically ask for to get tested when you have a blood test done for hormones thanks Carol ___________________________________ Make your life easier with all your friends, email, and favorite sites in one place.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 I have been under the illusion that menopause is a normal thing??It shouldn't cause a lot of trouble. I wonder what does?

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 It has sucked for me. I didn't get my period from May to August and it was the best three months of my life! Other than an occassional hot flash, I don't remember my mother having a lot of problems with menopause. I guess everyone is different.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 I can certainly relate to that. In fact I was overjoyed when I had a complete hysterectomy. Everything stopped.
