Test results are sooooo intimidating... I got my doctor to fax me a copy for my own records... and here they are...

T3: 1.21 Free T4: 0.88 TSH,Serum: 8.41

Glycohemoglobin A1C (Integra)GHb A1C: 5.0 Mean Blood Glucose: 81 Insulin (Specimen 1): 19

Cortisol: 5.78

DHEA-Sulfate: 163 FSH, Serum: 5.5 LH, Serum: 8.7 Estradiol Serum: 27 Testosterone, Total: 57 Free Testosterone: 2.0 Percent Free: 0.4

According to the "normal ranges" many of these appear fine... so am I back to being nuts again? (!) I mean, I have 1-2 spontaneous periods per year, I had a "great" beard, mustache and pork chops before my first laser treatment and I am due for my second one and wish I could afford to do my whole body, I am overweight but barely eat, I crave sugar and have "hypoglycemic episodes," I am moody, I sweat like it's going out of style, I have 3 generations of PCO ancestry, I've never used birth control in the past 3 years and yet no babies, I have skin tags and velvety brownish patches, I get HUGE NASTY volcanic irritating pimples between my legs, I have horrible GI problems and have to keep my carbs between 7-10 grams per day to lose any weight, the hair on the top of my head has thinned, and when y'll say "apple shaped" do you mean looking like the guy who wears the apple costume over a pair of tights in the old fruit of the loom commercial??? because he and I have the same figure! AND I'M ONLY 22!!!! :0

HELP ME PLEASE... JUST WHEN I WAS FEELING SANE AGAIN!!!!!
