Maddie I physically visited the endo today to pick up some samples of synthroid. While my husband was getting the meds I saw the endo cornered him in a room and said my pdoc sent you a letter to call him and you've not responded. He said he received it two days ago it was on his list of to do things. I also said you know the Nurse Practioner could find no order for a cortisol level which you verbally told me you were ordering as my Mother had addison's disease and I feel it's important. He said he'd check into that too. Then I said that the pdoc thought everything was thyroid caused. He said no the thyroid doesn't do that much. I disagreed and said well when first diagnosed I was working and six days on the synthroid I experienced what was like the clearing of your head when your ears pop with a cold and seriously instantly I felt better. I knew the synthroid had kicked in and I lowered the xanax anxiety less. He said he'd never heard of that. So depending on the phone call the head of ICU at the hospital here hates all the endos here saw them all and has an internist across the street that got hers right. Tomorrow seeing if we can get him as an internist. So I am taking charge again. Love Phillipa
