Although, I started taking iodine and R ALA and licorice root before I ever found any of the helping groups over the last two months months or so. I lost 15 lbs between doctor's visits, and I didn't change anything I was doing. And my TSH was still high.
The doc was going to put me on synthroid, but after reading the nightmares about that stuff, I looked him right in the eye and told him he wasn't pushing that junk on me. I also read there's a class action lawsuit against the synthroid manufacturers for a bunch of different reasons. Then I asked for Armour. LOL, he didn't say ONE word! He just changed the prescription. I think he knew how upset I really was. I was surprised and maybe he thought I couldn't find any, because of the shortage. I went to a compounding pharmacy. There are three in my general area.
I'd been losing gobs of hair, and the bastard told me the visit before to massage my scalp. He brushed off my concerns over dry elephantine scaly flaky skin as needing moisturizing cream!
Oh, and I needed to Exercise to lose weight. I was so disgusted I was ready to make a fool of myself in that place.
He didn't say anything about the muscle and joint pain, or the back pain. Or the foggy brain I was walking around with.
And I'll bet you anything he was going to try and give me an 'antidepressant". If he had tried that I would have given him a piece of my mind. They're not going to TELL me anymore. I am going to TELL them! They work for me not the other way arouind, and if they claim they know more than me, I'm gonna tell em to prove it.
If he knows so much then he should know the high triglycerides should correct itself after I've been taking the thyroid hormone for a while. I'll give it three months and have it retested. I'm not taking that poison. I'll use Garlic and some other natural means if I have to but no more chemicals.
I can't wait to see what he does when I request D3, ferritin, and other level tests.
