Darn It! Dr. Visit Results

Hi, Everyone,

Well, I said that I would report on my doctor's visit. I got the

results

on the colonoscopy and I do have Diverticulitis. No surprise there. I

have had this for years... This is the one thing that may kill me before

anything else can... ugh!

I asked him about increasing the Armour dose. He referred back to my

TSH

tests and said, " Your results are within the normal range... " To which I

responded, " The problem with this is that I still have symptoms of

Hypothyroid and do not feel well. " The Free T3 and Free T4 that were

ordered back in November did not get done (was not charged for them on the

bill from the lab). This just makes me furious! What's it going to

take? I am sick and tired of feeling sick and tired. I am fed up with

catching every stupid " bug " and getting sicker than anybody around me. Up

to this point, I have not defied him and changed anything on my own, but I

have had it!

This is just so stupid... Then he wrote " Depression " on the darned

chart

and I really went off on him. I may have to start hunting for a new doctor

to treat the Thyroid problem.... Inadequate treatment is not what I am

asking for, nor is it what I want to pay for, so.... Does anyone know of a

good thyroid doc in AZ who accepts Medicare? There is no way I can afford

to pay huge fees, so I am kind of stuck.

Someone wrote about Bovine adrenal products and Bovine Thyroid. Are

these

" prescription required " items? Where would I find information on how to

dose them if I am already on 120 Armour? Where can I order them?

Darn it!

Hi Dianne,

Check with Chiropractors in your area. My chiropractor sold me good

Bovine thyroid supplements. I forget the brand, but if you ask

around, you will find a good one.

Good Luck and take care,

Dratted Doctor... he didn't do what you are paying for him to do.....

But.. anyway... the Bovine thyroid glandular is available at Nutri-Meds

www.nutri-meds.com it's located in the US and their products are labeled

and sold as nutritional supplements so no prescription is required.

I love their products and their customer service is outstanding!

I found them a year and a half ago when searching for non prescription

thyroid.....

The also accept mail order payments for those that do not use credit or

debit cards. Contact me off list for more info... I contacted them about

being able to pass on that info as I have to pay by money order and

they've come up with a way to do that... when I got a request for how to

do that the first time I contacted them for permission to spread the word

to our support group members and they said okay....

Hi, PattiSue,

Actually, I live in California, but the nearest city of any size

is Palm Springs -- more than three hours away. San Bernardino is probably

an hour further along on the I-10. Send the list, please?

I get my medical care in AZ because the town is only eight miles

from my home. I live on the state line between AZ and CA.

Hi, Frannie,

Yes I have heard of Dr. Dominisee and would love to go see him,

but I cannot afford him and he accepts no insurance at all. Between the

labs and the office visit, I would have a bill to pay of over $850 because

Thyroid isn't the only problem I live with and they always insist on

testing for the other stuff, too. Geez! I am disabled for heaven's sake

and living on a pension out here. That is how I got Medicare. I will call

my other insurance to see if maybe one of the " top docs " from Shomon's

list is also listed as accepting my insurance...

Hi, S,

Gosh! I hadn't even thought about that! There are at least two

Chiropractors (really good ones, too!) near my home. I haven't been to see

them professionally, but there is no reason not to.

Thanks for the " lead " !

Rats, I am approaching this same senario. I am seeing an alt. doc and my PPO

would not pay because he put hypothyroidism as dx. My endo did the same dx and

only one will get covered. The alt doc is trying to help me with other issues.

Hi, Frannie,

Call your insurance carrier and explain that the Endo didn't help

you, so you need to switch doctors to the alt. doctor. Perhaps if they are

not paying two docs under the same diagnosis, they will begin to cover the

new one? One can only ask and hope for a good outcome.

Call your insurance carrier and explain that the Endo didn't help

you, so you need to switch doctors to the alt. doctor. Perhaps if they are

not paying two docs under the same diagnosis, they will begin to cover the

new one? One can only ask and hope for a good outcome.

Dianne,

Or I may get the alt doc to put a different diagnosis. He is not treating the

thyroid the endo still is. Hope you are feeling better today. Thanks

Hi, Frannie!

That should work. If he is asked, he can always say that he

grabbed the Dx off of the records you brought with you from the Endo....
