> ... There is a really good book you should read. It's called "The Thyroid Solution". What I like most about the book is the way it links anxiety and depression to thyroid problems. And it turns no one seems to know what comes first. Sometimes depression can cause a thyroid problem. Or a stressful event. So the author writes about how it's important to receive therapy for a thryoid problem. It really links the mind and body very well. Plus it has all the information of the different tests etc. I highly recommend it...
I really enjoyed that book, too. Unfortunately, even following the advice there (and on some thyroid boards) my docs still weren't able to come up with anything (except that I have nodules, but they're not doing anything naughty right now). Still, I'm glad I had the tests done that they did do, and I won't hesitate to go down that path again if things get really bad again. Finding an effective AD seems to have helped for now, so I'm assuming for now that I had pseudo-Cushing's.
Don't give up on the endo thing until or unless it seems like the right thing to do. Also, have you seen you OBGYN and had your female hormones checked. Or is the endo doing that for you?
