FRIEND NEEDS HELP FAST! Hyperthyroid/ Florida Doc

[Guest guest]

Hello Everyone,

I have a friend who lives in Peru and she was recently diagnosed with

Hyperthyroidism. As a result her docs have put her Zoloft once a day,

Xanax every 8 hours and Propanol every 8 hours. The hospitalized her

because she had an emotional episode and they were worried about her

heart. She lost 16 pounds in less than 3 weeks. I have

Hypothyroidism, not Hyper, so I don't know much about it, but this all

sounds so insane to me. I know enough that people use thyroid

supression treatments and radiation and then can become hypothyroid,

which opens another can of worms. Anyway, my friend is well off

enough to come to the States for treatment and her family has a home

in West Palm Beach. I want to recommend to her that she go to the

states for treatment. Can anyone recommend a good Doc in that area?

And, any advice from the hyperthyroid experts are welcome. Thanks for

your time.

Best,

Ann
