    I live in Fort Myers Florida and am looking for to an endocrinologist familiar with Graves Disease. I was diagnosed 20+ years ago and had RAI in Michigan. I’ve felt well up until the last 3 years when I seem to be falling apart – fatigue, loss of interest in almost everything, muscle aches & weakness, GERD, chronic constipation, brain fog, etc. Test results have been bouncing around and I can’t find a doctor willing to do more than monitor TSH and prescribe synthroid. Tried Armor for a while but couldn’t get consistent, good results from it either.

    I am willing to travel south to Naples or north to Sarasota to find someone knowledgeable and compassionate.

    Looking forward to hearing back from someone,
    Cindy B

    Hello and welcome! I don’t recall if we have any regular members in that area, but the Foundation does have an advocate in South Florida, so she might have some ideas (scroll down towards the bottom of this page for info):

    You can also check out the “Looking for a Doctor” thread in the announcements section of the forum; there are a couple of options where you can search for an endo by city/state/zip.

    Take care!

    Hi Cindy,

    It’s been a long time since I looked at this forum or posted, but I’m glad I did. I was treated in Ft. Myers for several years, at my sickest point. My doctor was amazing and I miss him now that I’m living in Boston. I’ll PM you his info right now.

    Hey, gatorgirly! So glad you hopped on so that you can jump in with your help. I am still checking this site at least once a week, and sometimes on a roll, and every day for a while..like this week!
