Guest guest Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 >If I told you some of the crackpot theories doctors have given me, just because it CAN'T be thyroid, you'd think I was making it up. I " m with you, . When I went from doc to doc all those years that I was suffering miserably on T4-only meds, I was told I either had a " metabolism disorder " , or a " glycogen storage disease " , or a " mitochrondrial problem. " I suffered through a muscle biopsy, and a strange test where you grasp a ball to cause a painful buildup of lactic acid while they drew lots of blood. I did an adrenal test that required me to be in the hospital for hours. I drank a sugar syrup to diagnose potential hypoglycemia. Years and years of every stupid, idiot test you can imagine. And all along....it was simply that my thyroid was INADEQUATELY TREATED and T4-only meds SUCK and should have been flushed down the toilets.
