Yes, very good to know.My idiot doctor also told me I have a great deal of anxiety. Duh.....I feel like hell and your nurse and front office woman are a bunch of Nazi's. You think I might have anxiety sitting here trying to get you to understand. Later in the appointment when I told him I just feel horrible and I need more drugs he said it's not the thyroid it's either depression or anxiety. I said, hold it...no that's not it, we're not even getting into this discussion. They are from h-ll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

?Good to know this.I have seen him mentioned online and thought he

might be a good choice..........Sorry.

Right!! Its not thyroid...its depression...oh, but wait depression is the symptom of thyroid! Does med school erase all traces of logical thinking?

Yes, as soon as you check in for your first class you leave your brain with the pharma companies that are there to welcome you.What's even sicker is that I'm not depressed. My all rights I should be...feeling like hell, not working for 13 years, having the beg for every test and med but I'm not so this guy can jump off a bridge. I'm not depressed but I am ready to kill a few people.

Sounds like the story of my life (at least

in the past couple of decades). Want to do stuff but the body just won’t

oblige. Like I’m stuck to the LazyBoy. Not so much miss chipper, though I

do stay relatively positive for the most part. I’ve pretty much gotten

over the anger – I think I’ve replaced it with cynicism. I’ve

accepted the limitations of most doctors after being burned way too many times,

though I have found a couple of them who are helpful one of which is pretty

knowledgeable. When I do things like force myself to walk, it wipes me out for

days or sometimes much longer.
