My GP is making me an appt with an endocrinologist(I posted earlier with various symptoms I have had including hair loss). Due to past experiences with some doctors and getting the "brush off", are there any specific tests I should request? I am willing to pay for them myself(I requested a hormone panel test previously and the doctor told me it was expensive and probably would not show anything definitive). I just want to find out if there is any correlation between the hair loss and this wierd tingling, itching I am having in my feet, hands, and scalp. One doctor told me I needed HRT and or antidepressants!! Thanks for any advice and help. I am most grateful!!

Most endocrinologists focus on thyroid and diabetes rather than reproductive system hormones so you may have to do some educating.Geoffrey Redmond, MD
