I wish I had the solution for getting your wife to go for a T panel. If she's having any menstrual problems that could be the window of opportunity. The thyroid plays havoc w the length and frequency of the menstrual cycle. If there's any irregularity there then you could encourage her to go in and get that documented. You have to go 12 entire months without a period before you can check off menopause. My gyn is in the process of determining where I am in the game. I wish I'known about T panels when I was your wife's age; I could have avoided a lot of suffering.
