Re: Appointment with Dr. Launius

[Guest guest]

Borochoff, Jerome.

I guess I need to ask Jan to remove him from her file of doctors.

Yes, I'll do that.

I've already started preparing. You know, the one-pager and making

sure I have my past test results.

I've been going to Dr L for almost a year...he is a great, caring

doctor! His wife is his nurse and she is warm and caring! ANd she is

on this group too! Her name is - a sweetheart!

If it wasn't a 4 hour drive for me, and a missed day of work, I'd

still go to him. But I really need to find someone local as I can't

keep missing work and now I'm starting school on the side - not enough

hours in the day or week. You will love him - he will take as long as

necessary to teach you as he goes along...wonderful doc!

You will be in good hands...my only criticism is that he does not

address the adrenal issues...not sure why but he won't go

there...other than that he is fantastic as far as I'm concerned.

Cheers, Tee

Thanks for the endorsement. I looked forward to meeting both the

doctor and .

I know what you mean about the cost in time. I earn leave time by the

hour per week. It's a silly system, equaled only by our health care

system.

I hope you find a good doc. If you're going to school, too, you may

really need some adrenal work!

Good health to you.

I was thinking I would drive somewhere north to meet you.

I'd still be happy to do that, if your schedule permits.

I'm taking 200 mcg unithroid and 5 grs Armour. Normally. Except now,

when I'm using up my emergency stash of Cytomel from 2 years ago.

How far north are you willing to go? There is an IHOP on Central Expressway just south of Spring Valley and north of LBJ 635. Would that work for you? I will send you my phone numbers by private email, so you can call me when you get into town. Bobo Amerigo wrote: I was thinking I would drive somewhere north to meet you.

That would work. And I may get there earlier. I have your phone

numbers and I'll call before 7, for sure.
