Re: More Info to Laurie and anyone re: insulin

Laurie,

WOW! You really went to town for me. Thanks. My FNP says this is just

thyroidititis and will disappear in a few months. Take this pill called

Provigil and it will give me energy, but cost an arm and a leg! Guess I

will just have to be tired alot. I have a standing order to check my

thyroid every 2 weeks now, for many months they way she is talking. And

she is no longer insisting that I be put on an anti-depressant because a

test result ACTUALLY came back stating there was a problem! Thank you

for that!!!

What concerns me most is the insulin level. I have tested on that

HB1AC? test 5.8. A 6.0 means your diabetic or pre diabetic, but my

FNP doesn't think that is anything to be concerned about. And now this

high insulin level. Does this affect my pancreas meaning it's getting

worse or is this the beginning of diabetes OR is this just something

with my thyroid? She (the FNP) doesn't know anything about my pancreas

problems and I WILL NOT drag myself to the surgery cures everything

happy specialist or the the other specialist that says I am cured

because I haven't had an attack for 2 1/2 years and my A & L levels are

normal. So my problem I suppose.

Laurie, are you diabetic? Do you know how to read that insulin test of

40 H with 6-27 being an in range level? Does this mean I have some

other auto immune disease BESIDES thyroiditits I should be aware of and

bring to her attention? She thought this was just depression. And when

my thyroid actually went crazy and stopped working back in March or

April of this year, she thought it was only allergies and kept sending

me on my way. When my son had 50% occlusion in 1 nasal cavity from

cysts she kept insisting that he had allergies and ignored him as well

until I got his allergist to do a CT Scan. And once again now, my son

MAY have broke or fractured his jaw playing flag football and the real

doctor was pist off cause I asked for to be a fit in to be looked

at and the real doctor pronounced my son only dislocated WITHOUT an xray

because when he tapped on his teeth with a tongue depressor, his teeth

didn't hurt. That exam took all of 5 minutes maybe. So tomorrow at the

re-check up with the FNP (because my son isn't the real doctors patient

he won't see him again) I will insist upon x-rays period! But you get

the idea what I am up against here with this doctors office.

Thank you again SO MUCH for the research you did do for me.
