She came in with chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia. Her previous labs showed nothing wrong.
Her hospital panel had never checked inflammatory markers — no ferritin, no HS-CRP, no homocysteine — and never accounted for the functional ranges that would have flagged a borderline thyroid.
The functional panel showed she was hypothyroid with significant inflammation. No wonder she felt terrible. Once it was all on the table, the picture was clear to both of us. She’s feeling much better now.
