Please check your thyroid and adrenals to see if there is an imbalance in these hormone systems. I would also look at vitamin d levels as well because they can affect ones mood and energy levels. Since we are coming into the winter time and depending on your location will determine how much you will need. One could also look at nutrient imbalance through metabolic testing and spectracell. If you are near California please go see Dr M. If you are in the northeast feel fee to contact my self for info. I am just throwing things out there to look into that may not have been explored.

I have had my thyroid tested and posted the results in this thread. OK`ed by the doctor. Looks ok, no?

How do I check my adrenals? What specific tests do I need?

I supplement with fish oil so I think my vitamin D levels are okay, but I agree that it should be checked.

Tonight I`m writing my doc a letter where I will tell him that I`m generally feeling lousy most of the time.

If he still maintains the diagnosis he gave me, “We could say that you have a kind of hemochromatosis, but not the clinical type”, I will demand phlebotomy.

If not, I will demand further tests, like CRP, to see if it could be inflammatory problems or such.

If you guys have any other tests that I should add I would appreciate it.

Sounds like a good plan?

You guys may find this hard to believe, but there is no specialists here in Norway that would help me out unless I first go through my family doc. That`s public healthcare here in Norway.

I appreciate the advice “hardasnails”, but I`m located in Norway as you see. If not, I would definitely have visited Dr Mariano.

Thanks in advance
