RE: Sunday call from Endo following letter to him

[Guest guest]

The short answer Jacquie is that I WOULDN'T waste either my time

or my energy in bothering to answer even one of the points or questions he has

brought up. To have a doctor who denied that there was any scientific evidence in

any of those papers shows what a terribly pathetic and ill-educated doctor he

is and he hasn't the ability with his poor education to help his patients

suffering the symptoms of hypothyroidism or any other hormone deficiency

problems. Run a mile from him, but not before you let him know that YOU WANT

HIM TO PRODUCE REFERENCES TO THE SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE AND THE RESEARCH THAT SHOW

THESE CONDITIONS DO NOT EXIST. Seriously, even if we answered every question

and cited hundreds of references, this type of doctor would never in a hundred

years accept it.

Find yourself a doctor with an open mind and who actually CARES

about his patients.

Firstly, I must give my

total and utmost thanks to Nick and Sheila who have helped me enormously in

this task and to Nick, I will contact you separately soon.

Hi Sheila and all

How would you answer :

1. There is no scientific evidence of Reverse T3 or the papers you sent

to me which I am aware of, ie

http://www.tpa-uk.org.uk/thyroid_adrenal_dysfunction.pdf

2. How do you

know you are suffering T4 toxicity - describe the symptoms.

3. Adrenal salivary index test is a waste of time imo as I've had

patients who have had it done privately and their tests have been normal?

One has to be very careful not to call it Adrenal Fatigue as it will

undoubtedly be misinterpreted.

4. If you are suffering from rT3, why is your T3 so high - where's the

scientific evidence?

He couldn't believe I was alive and 'kicking' on 62.5mcg T3 and said he

couldn't sanction that. I told him that my initial dosage of 70mcg T4 and 5mcg

T3 was a starting dose for infants and the elderly and that the further dose of

50mcg T4 and 20mcg T3 was a starting adullt dose (I'm referring to the T3 in

both cases!).

He offered to refer me to an endo who may prescribe the dose I'm currently

taking (whilst not abandoning me but giving me an alternative) but also that I

may feel better once he prescibed Erfa taking into consideration the amount of

T3 I'm on. Said he may send me to a nutritionist and also test my vitamin

deficiencies although he didn't think the NHS would do them all.

There is more but I am so exhausted from spending 45 mins on the phone to him

but will try tell you more as soon as I'm mentally able.

Love
