Frustrated with Doctors' Responses to Health Concerns

@dih i too have hashi’s and yet have all normal bloodwork. So they treated me the same way. Werent going to treat me until my thyroid was destroyed which didn’t make any sense at all. This last time I went in to have my blood work done my TPO AB (antibodies) were in the 500’s so they finally put me on some meds for the thyroid. I do know the gluten and sugar affect me horribly and they both are so difficult to give up. All health…good or bad begins in the gut. Good gut health does help. Go on a good cleanse then start a gluten free diet. It won’t cure you but it sure will make you feel better.

@danaester Wow, I've heard it's hard to find a good thyroid doctor. I havnt seen mine yet, it takes forever to get in but I'm dreading it honestly.

@Aye.ImWalkingHere Keep looking. There is a good Dr. out there somewhere. It took me YRS to find a good primary doctor and she's the one who found my Hashimotos. It is exhausting but you know if a doctor cares or not. Don't give up!

@LadyZephyr Hello. It took me years to figure out I had a thyroid disorder. I knew something was off as I constantly felt tired. My liver enzymes were a little elevated as well as my cholesterol. I started to get dry itchy skin, I just found out this year I have Hashimotos when my hair started falling out by the clumps. I found a new primary doctor and she tested a different part of the thyroid and it showed it is highly elevated for Thyroiditis. Ultrasound shoes one side of my thyroid a little enlarged. I found an amazing product for my hair loss called Viori.com. My hair is no longer an issue. It's saved my hair!! Please let me know if you try it out and it works for you. I hope you get the answers you are looking for, don't give up till you find the right doctor and you will be able to tell if they actually care or not.

@shayna_boo j have a really good primary care doc, she said she doesn't want to turn me over to an endocrinologist because I'll fall through the cracks. I saw one once and he had no interest in me.

@shayna_boo honestly SAAAAAME! Then, because I wanted a second opinion, my doctor dropped me from her practice. With no reasoning. Honestly sounds so illegal. I've found more help from tiktok and YouTube than her anyway lol it's sad but true. Couldn't STAND hearing that sentence anymore. Already lost 20 pounds and feeling better👏👏
