Guest guest Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 Welcome, marvindacat! Being in therapy AND being part of this group are probably the two best things you can do for yourself. I was in therapy for many years before learning about BPD and before joining this group. My healing has gone faster since I have been part of ModOasis.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Have you been given a prescription for thyroid meds yet? Welcome to the group! >> Hello Everyone,> > I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is and I live in McKinney. I had 1/2 of my thyroid removed last Monday and initial pathology reports say tumors are benign. It has been a scary, whirl wind 5 weeks. It seems like everything happened so quickly. I know I have so much to learn about my thyroid and medications. I hope to learn a lot here. Thanks and nice to "meet" you all. > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Welcome , I’m saying a prayer that the final pathology comes out all clear. I’m in the Dallas area also.

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 Hello all! I'm so happy to have found all of you. I too have been through the " TSH " is in the normal range by doctors - with classic hypo symptoms & thyroid issues in the family - and no further testing. I am happy to report that I have an appt with Dr. Christensen this week. I was on the verge of going to Hotze but did a little research and found her, right here in the DFW area. I'll let you know how it goes! ~P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 There is a write-up on Dr. Christensen in the Database. I will update it to indicate that she is again seeing patients. A year ago, she had to close her practice due to illness from mold exposure, so I'm glad to hear she is back in business (she had only been doing phone consults for the past year). Please do let us know how it goes for you. I had a great experience, BUT I was already quite stable when I went to her - I really was just looking for a good GYN and thought it would be a bonus that she was also knowledgable about bio-identical hormones, etc. And, she understands the relationship of gluten intolerance/celiac and thyroid issues. I think there is someone else in the group that also has seen her that had somewhat less favorable results. So, as always, YMMV. The good news is that she will Rx Armour and she takes Armour herself. I'd actually be very curious to find out what she did to workaround the Armour shortage. Be well, B. > > Hello all! > > I'm so happy to have found all of you.

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 Welcome and good luck! I saw Dr. Christensen and didn't have a good experience, but that could have been related to her not feeling well or my case being complicated. She was mostly interested in my TSH and told me that if my TSH was going too far down that was my body saying it didn't need/want any additional hormones and that throwing more T3 at it wasn't going to help. So be prepared to make your case in case she takes that approach with you.Grace Hello all! I'm so happy to have found all of you.
