Dr. Launius, Owens, other?

[Guest guest]

I may be working with Dr. C on my adrenals,

etc., but I need to find a doctor who will switch me to Armour sooner rather

than later. I’m leaning toward Dr. Launius, which would be

the most conveniently located for me. I’ve read through the

database, but would love to hear from someone about their experience.

I am really struggling with my dose right

now. I have T4 and T3 prescribed, but have no idea how much to take and

Dr. DeVries is not able to help me. The rapid increase of T4 made me feel

worse, as did adding the T3 without reducing T4. Dr. C wants to see me in

6 weeks and didn’t want to do anything with my thyroid meds. I

don’t want to wait that long. I’ve been trying to get this

resolved or moved in the right direction since May!

Thanks for any suggestions. I know Dr.

Owens is an option, but she is far from my house and I remember reading a

negative report of the way she was dosing meds (different every other

day). However, if she is the most strongly recommended, I’ll consider

it.

The only other names that have jumped out at

me are Sullivan and Dr. Elmore.

Dr. Owens is really good with all thyroid stuff- adrenals I think she would test and dig pretty deep- she is thorough. Hope you feel better soon!
