What Important Life Lesson Thyroid Disease Taught You
I have learned that doctors just don't get it! I have been so frustrated going from doctor to doctor. I finally realized that they just don't know how a thyroid patient feels, and they think one size fits all thyroid patients. Finally, I got so desperate when I was not able to get my Armour Thyroid and my new doctor refused to write a prescription for a compounded thyroid. He said it wasn't safe. I was sick for 2 months before I got in to see a holistic doctor. I feel the other doctor set me back 25 years. I am now on compounded Armour and feeling better. I think I have found the right doctor.
How Has This Lesson Changed Your Life?
There is no reason to feel sick if you are under the care of someone who knows what they are doing and will get to the bottom of why you feel the way you do. They will not just write a prescription for anything and say try this!I am losing my trust in primary doctors, and I am starting to believe that they actually make you sick if you don't do some research on your problems. Do not believe everything they tell you. Do everything you can for yourself. If you have to pay for tests yourself through a holistic doctor, then do that.
Research things for yourself, go to the health food store, and take whatever vitamins your holistic doctor tells you that you need. Try not to take prescription drugs if possible. Also eat organic if you can afford it and find it.
Advice
- If you have the kind of doctor that I had who told me that natural thyroid was dangerous and decided he knew what was best for me, then tell him that he will not be treating your thyroid. If you have had a thyroid problem for years, I think you probably know what medication you feel good on. Find someone who cares how you feel
