Buster:
Thanks for your response. I don't have any of those symptoms. Lisa at one time posted that neurological symptoms could come from low serontonin, so that why I was looking ino it.
Thanks

Buster, Have you tried taking Armour for your thyroid? It's a natural thyroid med made from porcine thyroid glands. I know sounds gross but a lot of people who don't do well with synthetic thyroid hormones have had good luck with Armour. Some endocrinologist prescribe it and some prefer synthetics. But mostly naturopaths or osteopaths prefer this medicine.If your interested you can do your own research on line and see what people are saying about it.

"One doctor I saw told me that there is no correlation between blood and brain serotonin levels."
Totally untrue, sorry but this statement can hurt someone. I have low seritonin levels but didnt realize it until I tried doxepin and it thew me into a bad depression and gave me nightmares--Now people who do NOT have low seritonin levels really benefit from doxepin--it all depends Smiley

Im sorry to say that some doctors talk before they bother to find out the facts. Most doctors would never do that or say that.

Its a good thing for all of us to request Seritonin levels, prostaglandin levels and to watch for sensitivities to aspirin products,

I also want you to know that testing negative to food allergies is quite normal for us--your reaction to foods are "psuedo  allergies" or in other words a "trigger"--but it will react the exact same way a regular food allergy does and should be treated the same way.

Hope this helps some Smiley
