Re: NATURAL THYROID 101 for newbies and others

[Guest guest]

Thank you so much for printing that. I'm trying to teach my doctor and it is

becoming a daunting process. Partly because of the lack of real knowlege on

both of our parts.

She is willing to prescribe, and has faith in me that I know what I'm doing. I'm

going to print this out and give a copy to her.

Thanks,

Tigger

ok then....i'll take a look at it and see if there's one within 500 miles of

me.

Actually, my new year's resolution is going to find one within an hour of me

here in NC - or train one if necessary.

Let us know how she reacts to it. In fact, it would be interesting

for lots of folks here to copy and it and take to to their docs.

We'd be curious how they respond. Janie )

I have to see her in January... she's opening a new practice... and I will bring

it then. She has been the most caring doctor I ever met. Great sense of humor

too.

She knows that I'm high intuitive about my body and when I say there is

something wrong, it usually is. I had told her for months that I had cysts on my

ovaries... she tested and couldn't find any. Finally I called my GYN and she did

a transvaginal ultra sound... yep, cysts on both ovaries.

When I told my doctor she wasn't surprised all she said was, " I cannot write

Ruth's (my real name) intuition on a form as a diagnosis. " We both laughed. She

agreed that if she could write that as a diagnosis it would save us a lot of

time.

I will let you know what she says.

Hugs,

Not sure yet if she meets all the requirements. I'll keep you posted. She is a

great PCP.... for me. She knows I do my research and has respect for my

knowledge.

As for prescribing Armour... don't know yet. She knows I'm taking it and that I

got it on line and said to me to take and and then let her know what I think

since I had it anyway..... and was going to do it anyway. I believe she tested

the Free's and has been working with my symptoms for over a year.... but at

first and still believes that I have fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue.

I'm out to prove to her that even if it is fibro or CFS that the symptoms can be

lessened with thyroid wellness.

I will let you all know.

Hugs,

> Janie...this reminds me...do we keep a list in the Files of docs

this group recommends? yea - i know i could look - but it's easier

to ask.

My middle name is lazy, too. LOL. I was raised in a 50's family

where the mom did all the cooking--but the problem is that I never

had to do ANYTHING and we had a maid. LOL.

Yes, it's called GOOD DOCS and it comes from folks here. The

requirements: the doc has to prescribe Armour, test the free's, and

pay attention to SYMPTOMS over labs. Tigger's doc may earn that, but

I'll wait to hear from her. Janie
