It's one of those nights. 8:00 p.m. and I'm ready for bed. Is it a COVID relapse? Is it menopause? Is it just modern life? Hopefully trying to figure out why I'm so flipping tired so early doesn't keep me awake.
@Samanthabwriter Don’t you wish we could find Doctors who understand the relationship between estrogen, thyroid and adrenal function in Menopause.
The thyroid can test at a ‘normal level’ but that number is low for you.
The Adrenal glands - are they making enough estradiol to balance out the other hormone.
These can’t be addressed in a 10 minute office visit.
@VelvetDuchess That would be a dream. But we don't check levels until there's a problem, so then there's nothing to compare it to. Medical care in the United States makes me want to go find a hedge witch instead. At least I'd get some empathy.
@Samanthabwriter Health in America is a retail enterprise. No tikki no laundry.
The care is always baseline across the board. No matter how much insurance you buy.
