Guest guest Posted February 26, 2006 Report Posted February 26, 2006 If my primary care doctor is uncooperative on helping me tackle my thyroid issue, how can I ask for a referral to a specialist for a 2nd opinion? I live out in the country, so I want to keep a good relationship with him for general care. He seems to think my fatigue is from lack of sleep. I did a small experiment by sleeping in the guest room for a week, and still I'm exhausted during the day even after sleeping soundly for 8+ hours per night. I've been keeping a food journal for calorie intake for about 3 weeks now, and at max I eat 1600 calories a day, yet I can't lose weight. Also, being only 29, my knees and hips are starting to hurt, and there's no hx in our family of any joint disease or problems. I just want to find someone who will work with me on this! thanks, Meg P.S. I live in Northern IL in case any of you can recommend someone! -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
