Sharon - melatonin and endocronologist

February 9, 2008

Hi Sharon - You said you've tried the melatonin. I was curious what dosage

you tried? And with regards to your doc not referring you to an

endocronologist, that makes me think he/she may need to be fired. From what

you say, you and your doc have been working for quite a while to find a

solution to your sleep disorder without success. I just can't understand

why he/she wouldn't want the opinion of another doctor, especially one

trained for your thyroid difficulties. I would keep pushing and asking for

that referral, and if you just can't get it, it might be time to find a new

doc. Take care.
