Also what are your ups and downs? And last do you need your doctor's recommendation in order to go to an endo. The doctor that told you that you didn't need to see and endocrinologist has a very typical attitude of many primary doctors. I personally would get more opinions and find a primary who will recommend an endocrinologist. It's not as simple as this doctor is telling you because an endocrinologist will run more tests and body checks than simple blood work. Katie,

I have talked to 3 Dr's and 2 seemed to not care the other did and I had to change because of the area I moved too. The last Doctor I talked to said I don't need to see an Endocrinologist because thyroid is not complicated! NOthing has changed in how I feel. I am very frustrated with this...I have so many ups and downs. Feeling good feeling bad! I am sick of it!!! I don't and never have had a weight problem, also I have researched both hypo and hyper and have no symptoms of hypo! makes no since to me. Been on Synthroid for over a year now. Going on 2!

Track your diet, figure out what you are eating around times that you are most fatigued or experiencing stronger symptoms. Has your Dr. ever checked to make sure that you don't have any growths on your thyroid gland or issues with your pituitary gland? There are so many areas where thyroid issues are concerned that I can only make suggestions that you need to ask your Doctor to confirm. Stress can affect your thyroid levels. Karina

It did for me and it was explained to me that the reason for this was because my immune system was attacking and destroying my thyroid gland. Basically my thyroid gland was dieing. It's a slow process first your body has to adjust to the medication and then the medication has to be adjusted as your thyroid gland and production depletes. You also have to make sure that you give your medication an hour to absorb it after you take it and that you haven't eat for two hours before taking it because food in your digestive system can interfere with the hormone uptake into your system. It usually works best if you take your medication right when you get up then go about doing what ever you have to get done for the next hour before eating breakfast. This way you are also taking your medication around the same time each day. When you are first diagnosed with Hashimotos disease, it can take up to a year to regulate your medication.

Sometimes people are afraid to speak up and when it comes to your health and well being you seriously have to be able to speak up and get a second opinion if not from your own doctor then from another. But never give up where your health is concerned. Myxedema Coma is something that you want to avoid. Thank you very much for your very informative input Anthony!

Don't be afraid to talk to their supervisor or the Hospital Director if they are being insensitive to your needs. I almost went into Myxedema Coma due to a doctor's arrogance. I could have sued but I would prefer the problem to be addressed and treated and not make healthcare -more- expensive than it already is. Sure, pre-authorizations for any tests/medicines/referrals are a sheer pain, yet that initiative will show you are serious about being healthy to your practicioner. If your primary doctor is blowing your medical inquiry off (especially if you are overweight and are being healthy with your diet/exercise), find another doctor PRONTO. You are the patient and also a customer. Demand mutual respect. If they cannot reciprocate, then leave and report them for any abuse. If you are level-headed, prepared and mindful, most doctors will be more than happy to help you. Just make sure you are willing to help yourself.
