Luteinizing Hormone

I give up caring, I honestly just don’t care anymore. He hasn’t called, and I don’t care if my CTS/TTS/LH/Thyroid are ever fixed.

Welcome to the medical system. Call the doctor’s office. Demand a copy of the lab results. Obtain a copy and put it in the file you are keeping for yourself. If you haven’t been doing that, start now.

Post the lab results on Lyle’s forum and the Meso forum I linked before, and most importantly, include your other health issues. Keep in mind that hormones may not be your problem.

Hang tough. You’re on the right track by learning how things work.

He’s never calling, he probably lost my blood too.
It’s been how many days late and no call…
I called him also… and he didn’t even call me back.
I have 2 doctors who believe I’m faking all of this too, trust me, when you can cut your toes off since they have no feeling, you aren’t faking it… or when you basically had your future taken from you due to intense pain, you’re not faking it…

I quit.
In a few weeks you’ll see me post in the sexual fantasies section about being a masochist at this rate.

I called the doc and apparently I’m healthy, okay, whatever.

In your position I’d be scouring the Internet to learn all I could about Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome. Have you been to a foot surgeon yet? Have you had any tests to determine what exactly is causing your TTS and whether surgery would be a good option? I don’t know what is called for, perhaps x-rays and and/or an MRI. Do you have flat feet? Maybe something as simple as corrective shoes would help ease the pain.

I’d be depressed and frustrated too if in extreme pain much of the time. Don’t give up. Instead, take charge and be persistent in finding a solution. If surgery or other treatments aren’t indicated or don’t work, see a pain management specialist.

It’s impossible to have bilateral carpal and tarsal tunnel so doctors just think I’m faking it. 2 causes for bilateral tarsal and carpal tunnel : Diabetes and hypothyroid… some others but those are the 2 main ones. I’ve done all the research, I’ve said for the past 2 months it’s hypothyroid, but I’m the crazy one. I just went over the lab results and everything is now normal… except iron saturation but that doesn’t do anything.

I have NO faith in medicine… with completely numb feet I can’t stub my toe now :) Hobby, seriously though, no doctor can come up with a solution, and mine is apparently wrong according to doctors, so whatever. I wasn’t meant to be healed.

What about congenital structural oddities? If that’s the case, perhaps surgery could help. I think you should get some imaging done to find out what exactly is going on.

hobby I know you’re trying to help, but helping me would involve you shooting me to relieve this pain that is known to be life.

Hobby is giving good advice but I would just like to add:

-treatment based solely on your lab tests doesn’t seem wise. So what if LH is high, if you don’t have symptoms? HRT will throw your body out of whack way more than than just living with the numbers you have.

-I agree with trying to find a way to get off those meds you are on.. It will change things.

- I would call your Dr. and tell the office person you will stop by tomorrow afternoon to pick up your file with all your test results. They have to give it to you.

- Hopefully they checked free T as well as total T. If both are ok, then don’t do anything drastic like HRT.

LH went down and so did T on second test :( apparently everything is normal except get this… IRON DEFIENCY and I eat a ton of meat.. take multivitamins etc etc.

The most likely thing here is I’m pregnant, it can cause iron defiency, CTS, and TTS… unless someone has a better idea, ESPECIALLY SINCE I’M MALE. Actually I’m going to go read of those cases of men being pregnant with his pregnant wife…

Everything is normal except you are a little low on iron. That’s easy to fix. Quit worrying. You are starting to sound like a hypochondriac.

uh…

uh…

iron doesn’t cause CTS, TTS or ANYTHING ELSE that I have.

What caught my eyes is:
“I wasn’t meant to be healed.”

Change this mantra ;) into something like:
“I am becoming so much healthier now, making me feel just better and healthier every day. Oh I _am_ starting to feel __so__ great right now.” :)

Thinking badly doesn’t really help you either way, so making this your new mantra would be a good start, no matter what.

So what. One low iron test doesn’t mean anything. Take a multi-vitamin / mineral pill.

ys- I rather die than live, a positive attitude is for someone who has hope for the future and life in them, I have nothing.

mravg- you’ve managed to do absolutely nothing to this conversation. In fact you’ve just annoying me by your inability to understand the fact that an iron defiency is NOT causing me pain. Ugh.

At least I know if I’m dead I won’t have to deal with problems of life…
