That's what I think, though Drs don't seem to notice much when I

bring it up, " Normal " labs don't show anything out of the ordinary.

I don't have antibodies to thyroid tissue. So who knows for sure.

All I know is that my hands and feet are cold when they shouldn't

be. Most of the Drs said it has to do with stress,

---------Well, isn't that there answer for everything, (except when they think

or blame it on depression!). Stress affects your adrenals, and I believe

adrenals causes *fluctuating* temperatures, not that they would know anything

about that either! Sorry, on a little doctor rant -----------Jackie

but if it were

stress I would think that other stress related symtpoms would be

showing as well.

I'm going to keep close track of the temp for at least 1 more week to

see where it trends. I also have a Dr appt this Friday and I'll

bring it up again.

---------Sorry if I can't remember if we've discussed this before, but have

you read about adrenals and thyroid at Dean's website? He seems to sum it up

pretty well. And I would definitely read the 's Temperature Syndrome

website, if you haven't already. Dean has a link for that too. Maybe you could

find a doctor who follows the protocol?

Have you done saliva testing for adrenals, and have you tested free T3 and

free T4 for thyroid? Your steady low body temps qualifies you for the 's

protocol though, I would think, if you can find a doctor who does

it.------Jackie

I would do more reading before Friday, and see what you can get this doc to

do, if anything!---------Jackie

Saliva showed low within range Cortisol, except at night where it was

low out of range. Saliva DHEA was low just out of range. Melatonin

was high out of range during the daytime, but normal at night and

other parts of the day. I can't remember if I did thyroid saliva

tests, I'll have to look.

Here's the latest full results from blood work done 1 year ago, April

2, 2007. (My comments)

Thyroid tests:

Thyroxine (T4) Free, Direct, S 1.37 ng/dL range 0.61-1.76

Triiodothyronine (T3), Free, Serum 2.7 pg/mL range 2.3-4.2 (Low, but

within range)

TSH 2.174 uIU/mL range 0.350-5.50

Thyroid Peroxidase (TPO) Ab <10 IU/mL range 0-34

Antithyroglobulin Ab <20 IU/mL range 0-40

Testosterone:

Testosterone, Free, Direct 11.5 pg/mL range 8.7-25.1 (Low, but within

range, what's strange is I have a high Total Testosterone. But

something's binding it up?)

Cortisol:

Corisol AM 19.8 ug/dL range 4.3-22.4 (High, but within range)

DHEAS:

DHEA-Sulfate 183 ug/dL range 120-520 (Low, but within range)

Some blood results from July 2005:

T3 Free, 324, 230-420 PG/DL

T-4 Free, 1.5, 0.8-1.8 NG/DL

TSH, 1.61, 0.40-5.50 MIU/L

I went to the drrind website and I don't seem to fit in any of the

scales. For 4/2/2007 My T4 is just above optimal (+1), T3 is below

optimal (-3) and my TSH is just above optimal (+1). For 7/14/2005 My

T4 is above optimal (+2), my T3 is optimal, and my TSH is optimal.

So it appears that I'm having a hard time converting to T3 or perhaps

it's mostly RT3?

I'll see what he says, can't remember if I talked about temps with

him before.
