240. None.I’ve been to all of these too.
241. Integrative Medicine MD
242. I feel like I’ve done the best job. I’ve seen 4 different endocrinologists, so they were able to confirm my hypothyroidism and give me medicine for it, but I’ve never felt 100% after 3 years – and I’ve had a lot of bad days and suffering as a result. So, while I guess they did the best job since they prescribed me meds and they’ve been the ones handling my care, there’s a reason I’ve seen 4 doctors. I didn’t like the first 3 and I’m only tolerating the fourth. I’ve had to be my own advocate and I feel like I know more than they do. It’s hell. I’d like them to have this disease and see what it feels like! Thanks for doing this survey!

I have taken T3 & T4 and it worked well for awhile and as my doctor explained if you don’t convert T4 to T3 after a while you don’t feel well. I always pay out of pocket for my doctors, so i do get doctors who listen. Thats not the problem. Finding a doctor who understands T3 only is almost non-existent. Dr Olarsch, Plymouth, NH does.
