Guest guest Posted September 1, 1999 Report Share Posted September 1, 1999 I can't believe your doctor is withholding your T3T4 results. I think that's illegal. You need to know what your blood tests show regarding your condition. Do you still have low or undetectable TSH? Is your heart/pulse racing? If so, maybe you should first reduce the PTU rather than going off it altogether. Thyroid Storm and/or heart damage is no small thing. Good luck. Glad to hear you're feeling better.

Guest guest Posted September 2, 1999 Report Share Posted September 2, 1999 Hello, Yes there are places in Raleigh that you can get your own blood tested without any doctors! Raven PS you should be able to see your tests from the doctor since you paid for them. I would call the police! then the attorney general and the BBB alexh@... wrote: I had heard that there are blood labs that will take you as a walk in, pull blood and do any analysis you request(without a doctors order and paying from my own pocket). Anyone heard of this? My doc just doesn't seem to want to tell me my T3/T4 levels. When I told him about the supplements I am taking, his eyes sort of glazed over and he made no comment whatsoever. The thing is, I think I have improved after talking these supplements for only 6 weeks and I am a very difficult case with a 200 gram goiter. I phased out the PTU recently to see how I would react and some symptoms reappeared but they were much less severe than before. He told me that under no circumstances should I stop the PTU and my only recourse is to undergo RAI. Oh well, what did I expect?

(there is a joke there somewhere, just can't think of it LOL!) i sure hope everything comes back ok for ya! certainly don't want that to happen AGAIN!! you take care.......and i will see you on chat!! (as long as i can hold down my dinner!) maybe i will skip dinner on chat nights!!!!! THINKING OF YOU!! Bert. **HAPPY**HOLIDAYS** **AND WARM HUGS** Bert. Well, I had bloodwork done today. They took 6 vials. One was an amonia one which had to be put in ice and sent out. Never had that done before. My doctor is checking everything because of the episode that I had last Friday when I passed out. Hopefully everything will come out okay and it was just from a virus that I might of had. This will be a busy week for me. I'm so far behind on my Christmas shopping that I've taken a couple of vacation days just so I can shop til I drop. Hopefully I'll make it on tomorrow night in the chat room. Looking forward to chatting with everyone. Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The nurse scared me when she said one of my enzeyme levels was a little elevated. I told her that I wanted the Dr. to call me. He called and said yes it was alittle high and said it was nothing to worry about. Well between thoughts of using the needle and taking pills again I had enough sense to ask the important question. Which one was elevated? It was one of my muscle enzymes. So I'm back to being my happy self and will say a prayer for the nurse who dosen't have a clue about what she is doing. The most thoroughly wasted of all days is that which one has not laughed!Eddie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 - How funny you asked about veins. I have horrible problems with this and blood work, not to mention that I have scarring like a drug addict from all the tests over my life time and extended medical work. I'm actually leaving soon this morning, to get my blood drawn. Hah! I hardly do this type of thing anymore, this is actually only the third time in over ten years now............but really wanted to see where some things stood, especially as I am treating lyme and also having some malabsorption issues because of the dysautonomia and digestion problems. Maybe today the vein thing will be better than usual. Totally cracked me up to wake up and see this post, since I'm off to be poked within the hour : ) Love, Jnanda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 I'm back, and this blood lady was great! She immediately used the baby needle, and I didn't even feel a poke. PLUS she had a fragrance free policy and sign up, which I was impressed with. Thanks for the nice thoughts . Have a great day too.

Since your doctor focused right away on your skin problems, and not your bloated abdomen, I wouldn't go along with him at all! He won't agree at all that your skin problems are caused by toxins coming out, and anything he recommends won't help you. You definitely do not want to get a CT scan for skin issues anyway, and he shouldn't need to scan your abdomen to determine the reasons for it being large and uncomfortable. Get him to tell you what is causing your abdomen problems instead; if not, see another doctor! Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
