Have they tested Parathyroid (PTH) and 24 hour urine calcium excretion levels yet? Cortisol should be checked.
> She has what looks like thyroid-like symptoms (her TSH and T3, T4 are fine): constantly cold, more hair falling out, tired, dry skin, acne (could be teen hormones raging), brittle nails, out of breath upon exercise, muscle aches and trigger points, delayed/erratic menses. Her ferritin level was low normal; anemia can be secondary to thyroid problems. She gets plenty of red meat, so iron source is good. She poops out more in the afternoons, and just wants to sit. I'm wondering if the thyroid-like symptoms are due to HPA axis hypofunctioning.
