Woo hoo! Found a good Thyroid doctor!
I'm not sure if you know this but I also write a health blog and thyroid blog. If you follow one of them, you know that it's been really hard finding a good doctor who accepts our insurance who believes in looking at natural dessicated thyroid medications over synthetic medications. Most mainstream doctors refuse to even consider anything but what the big pharmaceutical companies tell them to prescribe. It's been really frustrating.
I think I've finally found a good one though. He's about an hour away but the drive is fine (especially if my husband does all the driving) if I can finally get a decent doctor who doesn't want to over medicate and remove organs that don't need to be removed.
I live in an area where the economy is somewhat suppressed but not as bad as many places so we're lucky to have good insurance still. If you're looking for insurance for your family, you should check out Blue Cross North Carolina. I'm just so glad to feel like I may have found a decent doctor who can help manage my thyroid with me. I've been doing it myself since April (since I fired my endocrinologist and family doctor) and I've been doing pretty well with it but a doctor's support would be nice too.
If you have thyroid problems and want to see my blog, comment here and I'll give you the link.
