I have a TSH of 16.4 and a T4 of 10.  When I mentioned
adrenal testing to the endocrinologist I was seeing for the
first time, she hooted aloud and said that if my adrenals
were in trouble, my skin would be dark brown.

I have another specialist appointment next week but I am
running out of ideas.  I'm having difficulty assessing my
thyroid symptoms as I have other co-existing illnesses.

I'm trying to convince myself that it's the endo who's daft,
not me.

Any suggestions will be much appreciated.

Kathy
