In your findings, is this correct? In June of 07 my labs came back showing elevations in: Testosterone, serum: 79 ng/dl (14-76) Testosterone, Free: 1.12 ng/dl (.10-.85) dhea-s: 324 ug/dl (45-270) as well as elevated Cholesterols (but in range triglicerides) As well, I have shown elevations in: Throglublin Antibodies: 47, down to 43 and recently, down to 41 (upper reference being 40) and elevated TSI (thyroid stimulating immunoglobulins):134 (upper reference being 130) TSH within range but felt horribly when at it's highest (on paper, anyway) which was 3.70 My doctor seems to think these are just my "normal" but I have a hard time accepting this, in light of symptoms (which I expressed, long before these labs were drawn) as being normal. As well, I have gained considerable weight, which outside of pregnancy, is unlike me. Is there anything my doctor should consider, that may help them make a diagnosis? Life's too short to feel this badly. The only medication I am taking is Lexapro. For a-while, I was taking BC Pills to regulate my menses but they didn't work for me. My doctor wanted to see what my own system would do, being off of them. Since the birth of my last child, 3 years ago, my hormones have never really gotten back on track. Thank you for your time, A 36 year old woman Next message: Dr. Herbert A. Goldfarb: "Re: CHRONICPAIN: is endometrial biopsy possible after novasure?"
