help - which tests?

I posted before about how I was not too happy with my doctor and I am going to see an endocrinologist, but can't get in until the end of July. Well, my doc wants me to come back to see him after I have more blood work done next week. He just wants to test my TSH again. I would like to call him to see if he will run the other tests everyone has been talking about to get more information. What do I ask him for? I have a copy of my last results and all he did was the TSH and it was just under 15...is that borderline or not good?


another question. My nails are really bad. They are all weak and curling...is this related to thyroid issues?


TIA!!!

Hi there!

I think that you can just wait for your endocrinologist because s/he'll just do the same tests again.

I can't speak for your levels, but my nails are bendy and weak too, but I can't tell if that's because of thyroid.

Good luck!
