Hello, can anyone help me prepare for my endocrinologist appt later? i've summarised results attached and my symptoms are below. fatigue and brain fog are making this difficult for me. What do you make of these results? what should i ask the end for?
in addition to the above I have DHEA/cortisol disfunction and 2x thyroid antibodies were neg.
I am currently not diagnosed as i haven't seen an endocrinologist yet.
Thanks
