Someone here recommended this Dr. but you'll be disappointed

[Guest guest]

(Val I hope it's OK to send this here as I also sent to the adrenals group. I

know we're not supposed to post in both places but since I saw this Dr.

recommended here, I thought I'd share my experience. Plus I am desperate today

for answers! Can't find a Dr. locally -bay area- to help me)

I had called my naturopathic MD yesterday to request an iron IV and I heard back

this morning that he is dropping me as a patient. I will receive a letter

stating the reason. At my last appt., he acted irritated that I was taking 35

mg of HC (stated that one should never take more than 20mg) so that is probably

the reason since I told him I didn't feel I could cut back just yet. He also

does not want to see me on any more T3 than 50 mcg and prefers the SRT3. He

really wasn't much help to me so I was hoping to find a better Dr. anyway, but I

gave him the STTM book last summer and he read it, liked it, and kept it so I

was hopeful. And he was willing to do the RT3 test, etc. I saw him recommended

on the RT3 yahoo group and I have to say, he's been a big disappointment to me(

I won't post his name unless asked and if it's OK, Val?). And to top that off,

his office staff is pretty rude.

Anyway, I am so discouraged right now as I feel like my only option is to cut

back down on my T3 again which I know will cause my body temp to drop even lower

(always does) but that's better than heart issues. Being pregnant it such a

huge worry for me since it's not just my health that's suffering right now.

I will ask my OB Dr. this week for the iron IV and hope he will come through for

me.

THanks,
