RE: Re: great Doc in Cedar Park

[Guest guest]

Any knowledge on how the T3 is released over the day?Is taking on an empty stomach (which I do) assist in absorption, or can that be known?I take 62.5 to 70 mcg a day, and it definitely made a difference from 50mcg,But I wonder what exactly is happening in doses with time released?Thank you.

She has a license and is most likely still practicing medicine. If she left her previous practice with ill feelings, it would not be unusual for them to lie and/or refuse to give any information as to her whereabouts. If a non-competition clause was in effect, she may have been forced to move ten or even one hundred miles away. The Database is the largely uncensored opinions of individual members.I maintain the Texas Armour Docs list. Her orders do not look much different from those of other great thyroid docs: diagnosing and treating by symptoms, not having done actual harm to a patient. It is precisely over-reliance on tests that has left many of us undiagnosed, untreated, or undertreated. It's too bad she did not think to order some tests with which to cover her derrierre, but the truth of the matter is that the tests, even Free T3 and Free T4, are not all that good. Blood levels do not always reflect tissue levels. Once the board has any kind of complaint against a doc who is even slightly alternative, they go on a fishing expedition, looking for every possible infraction. Irregularities in record keeping often come up. Even this does not always mean that the doc has done anything wrong, just that they failed to keep up with myriad federally-mandated regulations.So, no. I am not taking Ann Nolen off of our Texas Armour Docs list. Having been crucified by the cranio-rectal specialists of the Texas Medical Board, she is a Thyroid Martyr and the Holy Grail for thyroid patients. I need to update her contact info. But having been once burned at the stake, she may no longer be willing to treat new thyroid patients. This is precisely what happened to our two best thyroid docs. One (who does not wish to be discussed on the internet) takes no new endocrine patients, no new long distance patients, only local family practice patients. The other, Launius, did approximately the same thing and even fired some current patients as well. He also quit prescribing Armour. He has recently relented and is selectively taking new thyroid patients and will write for Armour on request. If you see him, be prepared to be a very compliant patient. . . > > >> > > My daughter found a great hormone Doctor in Cedar Park near Austin.> > >> > > Wiseman Family Practice (father and son)> > > they are wonderful Doctors and will sit and listen to everything you> > have to say.
