I have not been online in a few days, mainly because I am in so much pain and would rather lay under a semi and let him crush all my bones. At least then I would feel better. Sounds nutty, but when even your skin hurts, nothing else matters.
Found a great book called "Stop the Thyroid Madness", and all I have to do now is find a doctor who listens. RIGHT! I put a call into a promising doctor is Madison, WI, and even though it is a two hour drive, it would be worth it.
I have finally come to the conclusion that there is no making a better life for myself if my thyroid keeps crashing. The book has helped me understand that. Everything I have complained of can be traced back to the thyroid. I have been on natural dessicated thyroid for a while now, but my doctor will not go over 2 grains because he doesn't listen to me, just my lab work. Anyone else with thyroid issues out there knows exactly what I mean.
Maybe I should change my blog to "How to find a good doctor" since this is going to be a journey. I have already been through four primary doctors in town, and three endocrinologists. I guess the next step is to look out of town. When I first went on NDS, I had to find a doctor in Chicago to prescribe it. But of course the minute my TSH was within range that was the most she would do for me.
I guess it all starts with having a doctor that will listen to you, so that is where I need to start.
