[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went for a bone scan today. This amazing machine that scans over your body and analyzes bone density. I’m sure it costs millions to develop. Wonderful. But it would be nice if I could go to a doctor who would help me with my constant fatigue and low grade headaches. It’s probably not that complicated of a fix - iron? thyroid hormone tweak? Vitamin d? - but doctors don’t seem capable of helping with symptoms like that. [/quote] If your insurance is willing to pay for comprehensive top-to-bottom tests to find out why you are having headaches, I am sure docs will be willing to do it. [/quote] I’ve had plenty of tests. That part is easy, and certainly profitable for the medical industry. But I’ve found that if your symptoms fall within standard lab ranges, then you’re fine no matter what symptoms you have. So if your iron is low normal, as example, most doctors will say you’re fine.
