Guest guest Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 My new Dr seems to be very open and listens to his patients, I have his phone # and email, and he literally responded to my email yesterday within a few minutes. He says he treats about 80% based on clinical and 20% based on labs which is the opposite of most Dr's, so even if labs are " normal " they may not be normal for everyone. He believes the way people feel is more important then the specific range marker. Friday I will get blood draws, 13 vials worth for extensive labs it will take 12-14 days to process them. One of his initial concerns was estrogen (he tests all 3 versions) levels, and he is curious about my T3 levels based on my prior T4/TSH labs. He also noticed that my calcium was high (normal) initially on my first labs (I think I was taking some calcium back then) and had went up above the normal range during my medically supervised diet (I was on calcium for sure during that, they had me stop and reduced my Vitamin D when we found that), and since my cortisol levels are in the low range that this is one of the symptoms of s but there was not enough data yet to conclude anything. I don't think I have been having more then 3-400mg of calcium for a while now, so I will be interested in the new labs results. Overall I think this may take some time to work through, but I do think I am with the right Dr now. BR//Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
