I wish that I had gone to another endo sooner than I had. Let me
explain. Last year, I was seeing and internist, a really good
doctor. As a matter of fact, if I didn’t like him so much this
situation would be easier. I went hypo in January, well, January
is when I have my anual exam, including a full blood workup.
In March, we rechecked my tsh. Right around July, I started feeling
really yucky, I mean REALLY YUCKY! I asked him to check my tsh.
He said that it was too soon. I asked him again and again, and
his response was the same. It is too soon.
This January, I had to change insurance so I was forced to get a
new internist. Once again, new blood work. I was hypo! GEE BIG
SURPRISE! My new internist sent me to an endo. I am pretty
atypical. My new endocrinologist did more than look at the blood
work, she took a ton of time with me. We talked about her
phylosophy on target tsh and my general good health. The difference
was amazing! Ok was doctor no.1 a bad doctor? Of course not,
he was ill informed. It is not his specialty. From now on, if
possible I will make sure that I see an endocrinologist at least
annually! Good luck…Carolyn
