[QUOTE="Don Schultz, post: 21932, member: 17"] My challenge is to find a doctor that is well versed in fatigue issues and its such a diverse area with so many possibilities that ruling them all out one by one with a GP is nearly impossible. I did email my Kaiser SoCal doc a while back and this was her response after I requested additional specific thyroid and adrenal testing: [B][I]I am the covering physician for Dr. Narayan as she is out of the office. [/I][/B][B][I] Your TSH is within normal limits on thyroid medication. TSH is used to titrate levothyroxine dose. I do not recommend the other thyroid labs you have mentioned as TSH is the most sensitive test for hypothyroidism. Also, I don't believe in adrenal fatigue. It is not recognized by the medical professionals as a disease. One may be adrenal insufficiency however. If you would like to discuss this, you can make an appointment for screening. However, reading your prior clinic notes, my suspicions are low for you having adrenal insufficiency.[/I][/B] [/QUOTE]
