Questions to ask a potential doctor:

Here's the list:

a. What is your approach to treating hypo?
"have you take a bloodtest, and say that because your on medication you are normal"

b. What medications do you use in treatment of hypo?
"the one that you are on which shows your levels are normal aka Shythroid"

c. If I don't feel well when my labs are within the normal ranges, what do you do?
FREAKIN QUOTE: "give it time, it might be due to the increased activity you've been doing, its certainly can't be your thyroid! You might be coming down with something too." (pfft please. I'm NEVER sick)

d. What is your response to me asking about different approaches that I've read about on the internet or in books?
QUOTE "don't believe everything you hear and read on the internet. Alot of it is people trying to sell their products"

e. How long does it take for me to get well, or at least see some improvement?
"there is nothing wrong with you"

f. How often to you do tests and see me while we are in the optimization process? (Right answer is about every six weeks to 2 months).

"every 6 months or so is good. Or whenever you call and complain"

Once I'm stable, how often do you monitor.
"whenever you call and ask"


Damn dosen't my doctor suck?

Great post by the way.
