Re: Looking for a Dallas Endo!!!

December 2, 2006

Thanks. I will call Gonino, he is in-network with me, two hour

drive. Noticed that he is also not Endo.

Was that Eldon Steve or in Lubbock? Those are both

in-network. They are almost a four hour drive!!! I also have found

Atluri, Rajesh in my town, Wichita Falls, an Endo. Have you or

anyone heard of this one?

Amarillo is four hours away, although Brantley is also in network.

Thanks again!!!

> Hello everyone,

> I was referred to post on this site looking for a good Endo (who

takes in$urance). I live in Wichita Falls, TX.... so Dallas is

probably the closest to me in the state. Two years after diagnosis,

I am still trying to optimize medication and I have moved around the

country and have seen 7 Endos, 3 Dermatologists, and 2 GPs regarding

thyroid disorders. I am hypo with hashis and have lost more than

1/2 of my hair and battle severe fatigue in A.M. until afternoon

usually. I am currently on 200 mcg Synthroid + 5mcg Cytomel.

Synthroid and then to 150 & 175 alternating over three weeks ago.

After SEVERE hair shedding (>250 hairs/day) and even worse fatigue,

I've returned to the 200 + 5 again with her agreement. I couldn't

take anymore, I get married this month and have enough on my plate

to have a downspiral. I don't know what to do anymore.... I am

forgetting something? I take iron, EPO, and mult-vitamin, exercise,

and eat healthy. I have had adrenals tested, etc. I have been

taking BC pills for years, should I discontinue to regain my hormone

levels and test those? I am at my wit's end. Please help me.

Thanks in advance.
