Re: fibromyalgia?/list of all my symptoms

[Guest guest]

My immediate thought is gluten and/or other food sensitivities. I say

that a lot, but it affects a lot more than we think...and many people

get Dxed with fibro. or IBS when they really have food intolerances.

Going off gluten is the best thing I ever did, no matter how hard it is.

Yes, i agree that gluten sensitivity and food allergies are prime contenders as

well.

Becky,

If it is gluten, 2 weeks wouldn't be long enough to be off it

anyway...it's very insidious, and while some feel better very quickly,

it can take months and months to get gluten out of our systems and heal

our gut.

Hollis,

The test the Pain Management doctor was concerned about was the

Free T3 not Total T3.

When I get to talk to my gyn about the tests I had done on Thurs

I am going to talk to her about the issue of my prolactin levels

because of the fact that the test result of the Free T3

indicates that something may be going on with my pituitary

gland. Just don't know if that relates to my PCOS (another one

of my health issues) or not.

Right now, I have to work on tending to my sinuses before Spring

gets in to full swing.

Thanks for the other test info. I will ask my Pain Management

doctor about trying to do the two antibody tests on Mon if I

don't forget.

Kristy,

I was referring to the free T3 as well. Of all the tests, the antibodies and the

free T3 are the

most useful for assessing your thyroid function.

A low FREE T3 is not something to ignore.

Hypothyroidism, by the way, can be directly related

to sinus problems. Myexema -- an increase in mucin

in the tissues -- can cause swelling and " gunky " stagnation in that area (and

the rest of the body). When people get their free T3 levels up to the proper

levels, all sorts of seemingly unrelated problems like sinusitis, tend to

resolve as the metabolic rate returns to normal. Fibromyalgia, often, as well,

improves significantly or even resolves.
