It’s amazing how good it feels when you find a doctor that you’re happy with. I hope that is the case for you with this new one, and it sounds like they’ll handle a wide range of issues so you may not need a PCP for the most part.

Hope is sweet and so needed when life is tough. I love the ending of this post, “We’ll figure it out.”

I love an understanding doctor. They are so, so rare. I hope you get an answer.

I am so happy for you that you’ve found someone who will listen to you. I went through something a few years ago and my primary care physician wouldn’t listen either. What a helpless feeling to feel horrible AND have no one who is willing to even try to help you. Good luck on May 20th!

I am SO GLAD that you found a doctor who is going to listen to you and figure it out. It should not be so hard to find one, it took me years, and my fatigue is finally fading with thyroid medication. I hope that they really stick with it and get you better!

Hi,
Just a few observations I have made. Have you noticed that modern medicine says they need your money to find a cure and yet they have not found a cure in 60 years, 0. And autoimmune diseases like Thyroid disease are interesting there are approximately 80 to 100 with another 40 waiting for a name and if you get one you will get another and so on. And medical science cannot explain why we have this autoimmune epidemic. You can trigger one of them just by having an auto accident, taking aspirin or medication or by starting a new exercise routine, even too much stress says latest research. Naturopathic medicine says, “Look for the root, it is in the basics beginning with what is on your fork, what toxins are in your body, what exercise do you do, what stress is in your life, what is your spiritual base”. Scientific arrogance has led us down the wrong path we better stop and take a close look at what is happening. This month 150 new chemicals will be added to the 85,000 which are part of the autoimmune problem. They will be added too industry with no oversight control at all. Autoimmune disease is the worst kind of contradiction; for an Thyroid sufferer you are attacking your body with your immune system, a world upside down. God bless you in your search.
Sincerely
Paul

@Little Miss Sunshine State, That’s good to know. We’re working on a vitamin D deficiency first, but I’m hoping if that doesn’t work he’ll be willing to treat that way or at the very least refer me to an endocrinologist.

Incredible.

I’m so glad you’re seeing a specialist. What is up with our freaking medical system? It’s insane to turn people away like that. So irresponsible.

@Little Miss Sunshine State, you’re not talking about Dube, are you? She’s horrible.
