pituitary / mercury - long post sorry

[Guest guest]

Someone over on the Lyme forum mentioned how the pituitary can

affect you're ability to get a tan - meaning there's some skin

affect going on. It can also cause hypothyroidism. Well this is me

to a " T " . My free T's and the other recommended tests did not show

hypothyroidism even though I had all the symptoms - low body

temp,dry hair/skin, puffy face etc. So my doc said it was a

pituitary problem most likely and I began Armour and continued with

HC.

Also, years ago I had a major, MAJOR spinal operation and afterwards

I noticed (among other things) that I was unable to tan like I used

to before the surgery. Now, mercury has been in my mouth since

childhood and my mother has a ton in her mouth so I had it in

utero.

Could a massive surgery affect my pituitary independent of

mercury? Or did it aggravate the underlying mercury problem?

Hope this posts helps others - even the recommended tests were

worthless to me - Free T3, Free T4 etc. I just don't know why we

can't treat with symptoms???
