^ Thanks, I wasn't exactly sure about how it worked. I'm still learning here. ^^;
In that case, then if her estrogen dominance is causing her thyroid problems, and her body is properly producing thyroid hormones, just not absorbing/utilizing it properly, then wouldn't it be best for her to have a saliva test done rather than a bunch of expensive blood tests? I understand that there can be many causes for hypothyroidism, but I would just hate to see her have to pay all that money to get a lot of tests done if they're still going to come up negative (it doesn't help that her moron dr doesn't believe that there's actually a saliva test for hypothyroidism).
