Once they get you optimized you are out the door. It is not a fun feeling. Why? I think it is because they haven't done their research on the disease. I know that's a terrible thing to say. But that is how I feel. I think Doctors aren't aware that Thyroid Disease is a slippery slope. It can turn on you in a instant. Also, maybe it's too much for them to manage? Maybe they can't handle the hand holding this diesease needs - BECAUSE it can turn on you in an instant? I think more doctors that specialize in treating Hypothyroidism is what we may need as patients. Someone who understands and will take the time to make sure we are at our best in terms of health. Is that too much to ask? Maybe, maybe not. Are we able to storm the castle as a group and make it so? ABSOLUTLEY! Just my opinion. Dearthyroid,

I admire your ability to hold down a full time job and still try to fix yourself when you were feeling so rotten! Keep up the good work and I'm glad you finally found a doctor to help you. T,

I've also noticed that once you reach the coveted balanced thyroid, some doctors eagerly pawn you off on another specialist, though the issues are glaringly thyroid. I wonder why that is. Any thoughts? Sage words, ma'dear. xo HypoG;

When we're in the epicenter of thyhell, it's very difficult to remember that, so thank you for reminding us that tomorrow is a new day. xo Amy;

It sounds as though you found the right doctor. My TSH was nowhere near what yours was I can only imagine. I hope your experience from here is a much happier and healthier one. T,

Very sorry to hear that you've been through as much hell as T has. Keep fighting is right! xo Christina;

It must be so frustrating to keep changing doctors and not feel treated the right way. Like you I often had the feeling that some doctors really just do care about the money and that they get "bribed" by the pharma industry to prescribe certain meds. Keep up the fight,even if it might be hard sometimes. Giving up isn, ´t an option. Dear T,
