Block & Replace

[Guest guest]

Does anyone else get a blank look from the

Endos they have seen when they have brought

up the possibility of trying a " block and replace "

method? I get either a " no " or " I " ve never heard

of such a stupid idea " .

Does anyone do a " block & replace " regimen

without telling their doctor(s) that they are taking

care of themselves that way?

I live in California (San Francisco), and this is a

center of good alternative care. But the MDs that

I have found (even a couple of so-called " Top

Docs " on the list) still " try " to talk me into getting

RAI to get over GD. Of course, I haven't stayed

with any of the 3 Endos & 2 other expert docs

when they push for the RAI.

I'm frustrated, and annoyed at paying $250 to

$500 for initial appointments with so-called

experts...and they (5) all come op with the same

" suggestion " of why not go the easy route of

RAI...same as my family doc did at the start.

And I'm moving towards remission...with eye

function much improved (thanks to this group

and the wonderful suggestions/support of

the members here). I've been taking PTU

for 25 months...now down to a small dosage

of 1 tablet 3 times a day.

Maybe I still haven't found a doc who will

work with me in the way that I know is best

& that will eventually get me into remission.

Suggestions, anyone?

Thanks...and my best to all!
