saw a new dr. today and he wants explanations for Estrone, SHBG, DHT, reverse T3, total T3, Thyroid Antibodies, Copper and Prolactin. he said these are ridiculous requests and there is no justification for testing these w/ the initial blood work panel. He wants me to explain why. Can Matrix or anybody else explain why I would want these exact tests run. I just want him to do all the blood work, so I can go to someone else. He is in my network and that is the only reason I am using him. Thank you very much. Here is what I asked for by what Matrix and JanZ thought were important.
