Good morning Everyhone
Feeling pretty desperate and confused following my appointment yesturday.
I saw Pit specialist this is what she said:
She said my thyroid is normal it is in the low end but normal. I showed her my private tests including the T3, she said the t3 has spurts through the day wher it would be low. I said I am taking Armour and DHEA she knew about Amour and said 10 mg DHEA wont do anything!!
She said PCOS - She doesnt think I have the syndrome I just have cysts on my ovaries. She said Ive already been tested for diabtetes. I asked about IR test she said I dont have IR thats pre diabetes and I am not obese or overweight so I dont have it? The only diabetes Ive had tested is via blood tests - Thouhgt you have to drink glucose??
She said she is concerened at how low my estrogen and even with my thyroid being a bit low it wouldnt stop my periods and make my estrogen so low!!!
She has sent me for more bloods to check for POF and to re check my thyroid and TSH.
She went out the room and spoke to some others and came back and said its either Premature Ovarian Failure or osmething wrong with the pituitary.
She said my TSH doesnt show a pituitary problem by blood tests but she wants to speak to teh consultant at Barts to find out the results of my MRI to see if theres a problem with my pituitary gland..
Ive got to have bone scans due to my low estrogen and my endermetrial lining is very thin due to my low estrogen. She said even if i took the pill it wouldnt be enough to bring my estrogen to normal.
She couldnt understand my food problems and kept talking about celiac again. I said I do feel less tiered since starting the armour!! She said in teh olden days they used to give it to you as a antidepressant as it would give you a boost even if you arent hypothyroid???!!! it would make you feel like you could do anything ...what is she going on about here!!!?
Anyway, thy are having a meeting Friday and are going to dicsuss what to do with me!! she is going to call me on my mobile on FRiday and has booked an open appointment for me so she can just bring me in when she needs to.
Isnt premature ovarian Failure linked to Hashmiotos??
I am so upset guys, if I cant have kids and whys it taken 3 years to work out i have POF if i do ...
She said if you have POF you will never be the same perso you were 3 years ago ( does she want me to get more depressed!!) I said I am concerned that Ive had a stroke, she said if you have that will never go back to normal...she was very blunt...
I dont know what to think please come and helpme
xxxxx
