'Normal Is As Normal Does' - hormone levels From: Jo-Nita (anonymous@obgyn.net) Mon, 13 Nov 2000 20:28:28 -0600 (CST) Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Jo-Nita: "Welcome Timber!" Previous message: Jo-Nita: "Important - Get your tests done on the RIGHT day!!!" Another snippet of wisdom from my endo. Just because your hormone levels don't come back out of Lab ranges does not mean you don't have a Hormonal Problem. Don't let your doctor's office blow you off on the phone telling you that your tests all came back normal. (implying that you are NUTS) He feels that we have to look at the BIG Picture here, and that symptoms and physical manifestations are equally important as lab numbers. You & I may have the same test levels and I might have no symptoms while you may be a walking PCOS poster child. My testosterone levels weren't high, BUT the presence of facial hair & other test. related symptoms shows him that MY body reacts differently to that level amount than someone else's might. Also, Lab Ranges are TOO BROAD most of the time. e.g. Fasting insulin should really not be above 10, a lab will report 25 as normal. Always get a copy of your lab work so you can see the exact number. -- Take Care, Jo-Nita Next message: Jo-Nita: "Welcome Timber!"
