> Several of my family members are his patients. I believe that he will take me seriously. I would just like an idea, before seeing him, of what are standard endo tests for psych symptoms. Obviously thyroid but I have tested normal for that in the past. Am wondering what others to look for and suggest.Thanks

I would ask for 24 hour urinary free cortisol for sure. Also my endo did metanephrines. I can't remember what else. I would just tell him your symptoms and let him decide. Do you have anxiety?

If he or she feels there is a problem you will get a referral. If you just go to an endocrinologist the doctor may feel there is nothing that needs testing. The referral is essential.
