Update on teenage daughter Need referral

[Guest guest]

After having an elevated TSH I made the dr. Run antibody tests sine I have

Hashimoto's.

Have not received the results but was told they are elevated and that she should

see an Endo.

Can't write what I really want to say about that quack! Sad that an uneducated

Mom knows more than he!

Since I still have an unwilling daughter, I have to convince her to do what's

best.

I have contacted Dr. robinson's office to discover there's a wait list to see

him.

She currently goes to school in Lubbock and wonder if any other Dr. Can be

recommended?

She really should get an ultrasound to make sure she doesn't have nudules like

me, so does that mean she should see an Endo for that?

And of course with no doubt a Dr that will prescribe Armour and not go by TSH

only:)

Thanks,

Lynn

Dr. R is not taking any thyroid-only patients. But since she is local, he may be willing to see her as a family practice patient and treat her thyroid as well. Call the office and ask to talk to Sharon.

She does not need to see an endo. Any doctor can order a thyroid ultrasound at an imaging center.
