HI YES I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH HASHIMOTOS I DID SEE AN ENDOCRINEOLOGYST AND AT THAT TIME MY TSH WAS 4.2 AND HE SAID I WAS JUST ON THE BORDER LINE OF NEEDING MEDS SO HE WASNT GOING TO GIVE IT TO ME YET. BUT MY THYROID IS FLUCTUATING SO MUCH NOW ITS DOWN AGAIN TO 3.3 BUT I HEARD THAT JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE ELSE FEELS GOOD AT THAT LEVEL DOSENT MEAN THATS WHAT YOUR BODY LIKES.I DONT KNOW WHAT MY NUMBERS WERE BEFORE MY THYROID PROBLEM SO I CANT SAY WHAT MY BODY LIKES. I KNOW FROM RESERCH THAT THEY CHANGES GUIDLINES ACCORDING TO ENDOCRINE SOCIETY THAT THEY LOWERED THE GUIDELINES TO EVEN 2.5 AND EVEN MY ENDOCRINE OLOGIST SAID HE GOES BY WHAT THE LAB SAYS IT SHOULD BE NOT BY INDIVIDUAL PT. WHICH I THINK IS INNACURATE WAY OF PRACTICING MEDICINE ESPECIALLY IF PT ARE HAVING SYMPTOMS.I ALSO WENT CAMPING AND GOT SICK HAD A LYME TEST DONE THROUGHT IGENEX IS A REFERENCE LAB IN CALIFORNIA FOR LYME AND IT WAS POSITIVE BUT NOT BY CDC STANDARDS. BUT THE COLD INTOLERENCE SYMPTOM I HAD BEFORE I GOT SICK SO MAYBE I JUST CAIUGHT A BUG CAMPING AND ITS NOT WHAT IAM DEALING WITH NOW. I AM SO CONFUSED.BECAUSE I HAD ANOTHER LYME TEST DONE HERE IN OREGON AND IT WAS NEGITIVE. BUT I WAS TOLD THE ONLY LAG THAT IS REALLY THAT ACCURATE IS IGENEX DUE TO THEM NOT FOLLOWING CDC STANDARDS. I ALSO WATCH MYSTERY DIAGNOSIS ON TLC AND THERE WAS A LADY THERE HAD SIMULAR SYMPTOMS AS ME BODY ACHES RACING HEART JOINT PAIN TIRED PAST THE NORMAL TIRED TO WHERE SHE HAD TO QUIT JOB AND COULDNT REALLY GET OUT OF BED SHE WAS IN SO MUCH PAIN HER HAIR FELL OUT A LOT DIGESTIVE PROBLEMS. SO ITS QUITE CONFUSING TO KNOW EXACTUALLY WHATS WRONG ONE LADY ALSO ON THIS WEB SITE HAD SOMTHING WRONG WITH PITUITARY AND THOUGHT IT WAS THYROID BUT MY DOC WONT CHECK INTO IT HE SAYS THERES NO NEED BUT HES NOT THE ONE TAT IS SICK ITS ME AND I NEED TO FIGURE THIS OUT I HAVE 3 KIDS GETTING A DIVORSE AND CANT WORK DUE TO ILNESS I CANT LIVE LIKE THIS ANYMORE SO ONCE A GAIN A DEAD END I NEED A DR WHO IS GOING TO LISTEN AND LOOK AT THE BIG PIC AND THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX THANKS IF YOU HAVE ANY INFO
