[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2280406, member: 401801"] Baby steps.... I can't call all this a baby steps level. This is a lot of information. Fount, even. And hopefully, stuff to go on... I know I should get a full panel done, but that's where the anxiety comes in: I don't dare ask for a new form right now, though it [I]might[/I] come up tomorrow when I have to call for my results. Still, since it's the assistent I'm dealing with, I'm not counting on it. But then, 4 weeks from now I'll get another go at it. In the meantime I might be doing better with the dietary changes. Gods, I hope so. Having to walk to the hospital again, knowing the endo I'd get (and switching is not easy), kind of feels like a walk to the gallows for me. I don't know. I 'm aware I'm headed towards doing all these things, but slowly. Working up to it. ;) And another forum... I'm okay here, but entering into a whole new one...? Yikes. People. Eek. Here at least i know what i'm talking about, there I'd be.... Lost. Like a N00b. On top of being all panicky because of there being so many people. ;) My bloods are attached including the ranges, (sorry, it's all Dutch, but I think they make sense?), but I suppose there's a lot of information still missing. (Vits, mins, complete Thyroid etc). Also attaching a PDF with the symptoms. Not only do I tick boxes in both hyper and hypo, a lot of these symptoms show up in T2, Sjögrens, PCOS, Vit D deficiency/osteomalacia, astma, blepharitis and what have you. That makes it complicated. And that's also why I thought my fatigue 4 years ago was caused by my thyroid: I didn't think it could be something new entirely, but it turned out it was T2 wearing me down. It's all a bit much right now, physically and mentally. I'm kind of at the end of my tether, so I'm sorry if I'm not especially coherent.
