This is what makes me so nuts about these doctors and so called Endo's. I
have Hepatitis c which is for the most part, inactive. But, my body can't be
too thrilled about it's presense. Then I get dx with thyroiditis. They kill
the gland with RAI. I have been nothing less than completley adament about
getting well and doing it as soon as possible. Not just for the obvious
reason of feeling well, but because of what all this playing around with
hormones can cause. Being female and 46 also poses a myriad of probelms.
When I hear of people being turned away and the illness written off as mental
beacuse the TSH is fine, it scares me to death at those that don't know how
to research, or trust doctors and just leave it at that. Give em Prozac, the
cure all in medicine. When I am better informed than an Endo sitting in his
God almighty high chair telling me that I have some other problem it just
flat pisses me off. However, I am smart enough, envolved enough and just
hard headed enough to fire the *#*. What of those that aren't like us? My
hat is off to all of you that share your health issues on this list. One
simple post just may save someone from years of agonizing health problems.
I'll get off the soap box now.

P.S. Thanks for sharing to all of you! I appreciate it more than you know.
