Hello,

Please pray for me. My doctor and I thought it would be good to try the TRH Challenge Test, which can pick up hypothyroid that’s missed by the regular tests. The only problem now is finding a lab or hospital in my state than can do it. I’m waiting to hear back from places I emailed. Please pray that I can find a place close by, and that the test proves I’m hypothyroid so I can finally get on treatment for this decades-long problem.

I also need continued prayer to find a good doctor that is thyroid-savvy. I’m looking into three doctors at the moment and I’m hoping the closer one that’s just an intern will work out good.

God bless you. 🙂
 
I will pray today before the Blessed Sacrament that you will at last be properly diagnosed. …I’m just a bit surprised it’s so difficult for you to be diagnosed. From my extreme weariness my doctor deduced the problem and had me tested and on thyroid supplement within a few days. I realize how important it is for you to have the supplement each day.
God bless you dear soul
 
Praying that you don’t have to travel too far for for your test or for a doctor. May you be properly diagnosed and get the help you need. May you persevere in faith and carry your cross patiently and lovingly. Amen.
 
I feels great to know people are praying for me.

Someone online once said that you’d think thyroid medicine was cocaine or something, the way doctors are so picky about giving it out and act funny if you ask for it.

I learned that my GYN and psychiatrist are not good about it. The GYN never responded to my letter, and the psych said he goes by whatever the lab uses, ignoring the new range. Plus my PCP thinks all is well, even though I’m symptomatic. I’m hitting walls, but I’m hopeful about this test and the other doctors out there.

Apparently, the TRH test is what they used 10-15 years ago to diagnose thyroid conditions, then the TSH became popular. I read online about a child with autism that suffered for 7 years with hypothyroid symptoms yet had normal looking labs. It wasn’t until she had the TRH test that they found she was severely hypothyroid.
 
I will pray a rosary for you. May God bless you with proper diagnosis and treatment 🙂
 
Thank you so very much! I really appreciate your prayers! 🙂

I’m now working on trying to start with a specialist in my state that is very open to treating thyroid, adrenal, nutritional issues. I know I will be able to start treatment with him. I’m praying I’ll be able to see him, and soon.
 
Hail Mary full of grace
the Lord is with thee. Blessed
are thou among 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 death.
Amen
