Is this a legit ailment.  My t3, t4 and tsh are all in the normal range but
I have a sensitivity to cold and my body temp is low.
I don't think orthodox docs accept wilson syndrome.
What can I do to get treatment to see if this syndrome is a possibility in
my situation.

Thanks, Ken

I just got Dr. Weil's (who is very into non-traditional treatments) most
recent health letter and he says this is a scam. Wilson has lost his medical
license. Most people's body temp. varies.

Probably sour grapes.  Weil is a bit of a flake.

If it quacks like a duck, and looks like a duck...

Some docs doing "integrative medicine" will do a trial of thyroid meds.

Have you been gaining weight? Depression? Constipation? No energy?

Thyroid problems do tend to be a female thing.

You could take some info to your doc and see what s/he says.

There is good info online at www.fpnotebook.com

You might try alt.support.thyroid for more discussions.  My family doc was
willing to give it a try.
