Hi Bren,
I have been wondering if I need to get a head CT and get my thyroid in there
as well. Something very strange is going on. Four weeks ago my testosterone
was low now it's high. My DHEA was 1293 with normal range 110 to 554 and I
don't supplement with DHEA. Yesterday I had one meal in the evening - green
beans, coconut oil, turkey dark meat, and 2 tsps of homemade applesauce
(just apples and water cooked). In the afternoon my BG was 84. This morning
my BG after 10 1/2 hours fasting was 109 and from what I understand it would
have been higher at the lab.
My sex hormone binding globulin was 165 with normal range 18 to 114 - from
what I understand it binds to testosterone and estradiol making them more
available to the body. And I have to say, I feel like I have had PMS since
November when all this started.
I don't know where to go from here.
Kristina

The only thing I can contribute here is anecdotal "evidence", but my Mom was
diagnosed with a "terrible" thyroid back when I was a kid, probably in the
'70's yes, thus the "terrible thyroid description", lol, and her mostly
naturopathic doc prescribed sea kelp and some other supps, as opposed to the
med community wanting to cut her open. I remember she took those kelp
thingies for years, amongst other things, sorry, can't remember what, but it
wasn't drugs or cutting. Her thyroid was found to be perfectly normal after
a couple of years of that by the med community. Then her naturo doc died
about ten years ago, so she stopped taking all that stuff (kick her butt, I
don't know why, grrrrr), and just last week the wonderful med community cut
out a five-inch growth on her thyroid. Wasn't malignant, thank God, but
still. Kinda goes to show.....
Love,
Bren
