I am finally starting to feel better.  Everyone should insist on a free t3 and t4 blood test to find out!!!!  TSH is not going to tell you if you hypothyroid.  It took me 8 years to find a doctor who would do the t3 and t4 blood test.  It will make a difference!!<br/><br/>

In August 2007 I saw a gastroenterologist complaining of stomach problems.
On the same week I was doing a blood test and an endoscopy which led to a biopsy.

When the blood tests arrived my T3, T4 and TSH levels were sky high so I was referred to a endocrinologist who diagnosed me immediately with hypothyoidism.

So it took just 2 weeks for my 2 diseases to be diagnosed and I payed about 30€ for the entire process (I have medical insurance - 12€/month).

I really cannot understand how these situations happen... people suffering years and years when it can all be avoided with simple blood tests.<br/><br/>
