Re: Suggestions for doctors in Dallas-Plano---Mckinney area

[Guest guest]

Hi Nisha,

Since it's a holiday, there may be few responses for awhile.

But if you look at the column to the left and click on Files, you will be taken

to posters' experiences with different doctors in Texas. That may be a good

start for you.

And, because thyroid tests are poorly named and confuse even doctors, when you

get thyroid tests run, make sure that these are included: Free T3, Free T4 and

thyroid antibodies tests.

Sometimes bi-polar disorder is a result of a type of hypothyroidism (low

thyroid) called Hashimoto's.

Good health to you. There are knowledgeable people here and you'll find good

information.
