Guest guest Posted March 31, 2003 Report Share Posted March 31, 2003 OK...and what if they have decided just to not answer the phone. I have been calling my new GP office since 8 am when they are supposed to be open, and guess what? I keep getting a message to call back after 8 am that I am calling outside their office hours. I left my LAST GP due to this kind of crap among other assorted things, and I am getting the same type of issue with this office! They have the flippin' answering machine on. I told my mom, maybe I just have not gotten used to the way things are here, but come ON..... > What if I go into the doctor's today, and tell them I have gone off my > Levoxyl and explain the improvement I have had to them.

You need to take away the " question marks " above, and turn those into statements like " I AM going to ask for Armour. And if they treat me like an idiot, I will find another doc. " And if you have to find another doc, either check out the Top Doc lists in the LINKS to the left of these posts on the site, or go to a large pharmacy and ask the friendliest and/or busiest pharmacist which docs prescribe Armour. And back to your current doc: if they make the idiotic typical statement that Armour is not safe, or consistent, etc....remind them that Armour is regulated by the USP (United States Pharmacopia) and consistently approved by the FDA. If they state that T3 is dangerous, remind them that their own thyroids must be dangerous since it produces straight T3 every day of their lives.
