Portal Avenue San Francisco, CA 94127 Newby Hi everyone, Well finally after many years of struggling to get help and going through several Drs., I've been diagnosed with hypothyroidism by my Internist. Even though my adrenal tests came back low, they were dismissed - " you need more estrogen " was the response. I had to almost beg for the tests (TSH, T3 and T4). Interestingly, TSH was 'normal' but T3 was borderline. I've just started with Armour thyroid and already feel a difference. I am looking for a good Dr. in the Southern California area - can anyone give me a recommendation for a human being who will listen and knows the correct tests to perform with me having to beg for them? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 Hi Patti, Thanks for such a fast response making me feel very welcome to the site. There are several Docs. in my area - how do I choose (help)? I will do some research. A big thanks also for the info. you provided re the Adrenal Fatigue supplement - I'll be sure to check it out. I can't believe that some of our Docs appear to be too busy to listen to us and help us to get back on our feet. Thank goodness for groups like this with such great caring people. I really appreciate the support. Take care and have a great weekend Newby > > > Hi everyone, Well finally after many years of struggling to get help and going through several Drs., I've been diagnosed with hypothyroidism by my Internist.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 Hi , You are always welcomed here...we are here to help you in anyway we can. As far as knowing which one to see...you should ask a few questions. 1. Does the doc mainly use Armour Thyroid? What does he think of Armour thyroid as opposed to Synthroid/Levoxyl. (this list of docs is considered Broda docs...but some say they are and aren't) 2. Does this doc use basal temps, muscle testing, and bloodwork ALONG with the # 1 diagnosis... " how is the patient feeling? " The reason that this is so important is that a person can have " perfect " bloodwork but feel terrible. And the doc should know to treat the symptoms/patient not the test results. We are not numbers and it is routine for the patient to not feel well even though the bloodwork shows " within normal ranges " . 3. What Insurance does he take? These are very important questions that you have every right to get direct answers for. We hire our docs..they don't hire us. Interview each one...get back with us on their answers and we can pretty much point you in the right direction!! I trust that you will do well. If you have any questions at all you can post here or feel free to contact me on my personal email.. vp.labellarte@... Many HUgs...You are on your way to a healthy life!!
