Thanks, HAN.
I can’t get these ordered from the doc until I see him– October 23rd.
Sure wish I could get them sooner and start this process.

Anyway, thanks for the information.
I do have insurance that won’t pay for the doc visit, but will pay for the blood tests.

I can’t order that test, correct?
A doctor has to do it for me?

Also, when you recommend that 24 vials of blood be taken– what are the tests you recommend I get?

[Bella6]

Is this it?

If I do the e2 and progesterone blood spot test from ZRT, will that tell me how my estrogens are metabolizing?

Thank you for your comments and thank you Dr. M for the deletion of HAN’s comment- muct appreciated.

I’m wondering if Dr. M’s last comment is what I’ve been experiencing.

Sidenote–
I can’t believe the wealth of knowledge on here. I’ve learned so much more here over any other place I’ve ever visited. I hope to God I can see Dr. M. in October.

I can’t believe so many doctors lack such knowledge.
I’m so pissed for spending SO much money on these dimwits! :mad::mad:

Charlie, hope you’re feeling better.

Chris, I’m curious about that, too.

What if you only have 2 or those symptoms– or has higher blood pressure; which is not characteristic to low aldosterone?

I think this is one of the most informative posts I’ve ever read on any message board.

I wish more doctors would “get with it” and realize how simply complex (or complexly simple) this is.

Seems they just want to take a “one shot stop” approach with this– they either just address thyroid, just address adrenals and/or know nothing about how sex hormones even fit in with it all.
Add in aldosterone, pregnenolone and such– and they have no clue.

Thanks again for sharing this information.
