My partner was diagnosed hypothyroid a few years ago, is on Naturethroid, and and we're having trouble finding an endo who doesn't push appetite suppressants and/or gastric bypass for the weight she's gained. She exercises and doesn't overeat. We've had an endo push homeopathic non-medical supplements with no FDA value (cash only, please, no insurance), another endo who denied hypothyroidism even existed, and another who said, "Hey let me finish my spiel," when told that surgery was not an option. We're looking for an endo who listens to the patient and not just treat to make the thyroid numbers look good. Anyone know of one to whom we could ask our general doctor to refer to?
