I am so happy that I found a new Endo today. My old one was so uncommunicative, and a know it all.
This new Endo looked at my paperwork and talked to me about things at length. Like 1 hour 49 minutes. She told me there are differences between generic synthroid and brand name, and she is beginning me on brand name. Gave me a months supply in samples! WITHOUT ASKING! She even is suspecting something the old one didn't bring up.....even though my labs support it.....adrenal gland dysfunction.
I don't often say this about doctors: I like her!
Forgot to tell you one of the best parts:
I talked to her about the Depo (after all Endos know about horomones too)
SHE AGREED THAT WITH THE NEW SURGERY COMING THAT I OUGHT TO COME OFF OF DEPO.
My words to her: I read that immobilization with surgery is contra-indicative with Depo. The last thing I want is a blood clot that starts in my neck and goes to either my lungs or brain.
Her words to me: You did the right thing coming off of Depo. I know that couldn't have been easy to come to that decision. Your horomones may straighten a few things out on their own. We'll follow up.
That's great! It has been my experience that a good endo is hard to find.
