I've been seeing an endocrinologist. Most of my blood work came back abnormal. Just wanted to see if anyone else was doing the same and what your diagnosis and treatment was... was it effective?

Please share.

I am seeing one. The only blood work that came back abnormal was my vitamin D. Although my family doctor also thinks my testosterone is to high, but the lab says it is normal.

Bohofemme,

My blood work was ok last time I checked. I would be happy to help you with any questions you have. Just don't go on any meds that is given to you by your doctor. Any natural treatments are OK.

Let me know if you need any help.

Good luck.

I went to an endo to have my thyroid levels checked a few weeks ago, because I have a very prevalent family history of hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's Disease. But they only tested thyroid, and it came back fine.

In my experience, as well, bloodwork doesn't always tell the whole truth- what the blood work says is "normal" may not be normal for you, or it might be normal for you but not someone else. In other words, they only tell us so much.

However, if a thyroid issue came up or another hormonal issue, I'm sure it would be best to treat it, or else you may end up feeling a lot worse!

Best of luck and keep us posted!

Love, luck, and hugs:
