Hello,

Please pray about this test. I have the lab order to get the TRH Challenge test, but I’m having a really hard time finding a place that can do it. The local hospital can’t get the drug to their pharmacy, so I’m asking if I could get it at CVS or something. Another hospital seems to think I would need a doctor affiliated with their hospital to watch me during the test, plus they are still checking if they could get the medicine.

Eeek!

Please pray that I’m able to get it somewhere nearby and that they can get the medicine or I can pick it up.

This test is supposed to be really great at picking up what the normal thyroid tests can miss.

Thank you and God bless you!
 
shouldn’t the doctor who ordered it know where it can be done?
 
It isn’t his speciality, so he isn’t all that aware. Plus, I researched and brought it up to him. He thought the hospital could do it. They can, but they just can’t get the medicine. I’m really hoping that CVS or something could special order it and that it doesn’t cost a lot.

According to this article the drug needed to perform the test has not been manufactured in many years, and most doctors find that test to be outmoded.
Have you seen an endocrinologist?
 
I pray that God will help you and that his will be done in your life with no obstacles to his will. May everything fall into place for you through the intercession of the Blessd Virgin Mary. Amen.
 
Hail Mary, full of grace
The Lord is with thee
Blessed art thou amongst women
And blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus

Holy Mary, Mother of God
Pray for us sinners
Now and at the hour of our deaths
Amen
 
Well, it looks like I won’t be able to get that test. No place has the medicine, and no lab I’ve talked to can do it, mainly due to the medicine issue.

So, it looks like I’m going to have to try the intern (she turned around, not answering my questions, and instead suggested a first appointment to discuss.) Or, try one of the alternative-focused people that are definately open to cortisol and thyroid, should I need them. I’m hoping to see the alternative-MD, as I really trust that he will get me feeling great. He’s just a long drive and charges a bit more than most, but he does accept my insurance.

Please pray for guidance in what to do now.
