[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 419873, member: 1233"] Thyroid is an easy fix. There are several brands of replacement thyroid hormones. I have an rx, $3 per month to fill it. The lack of thyroid hormones are why I cannot lose weight. making sure diabetes isn't a factor is important, of course. esp since I had polycystic ovaries. If you don't have enough thyroid hormones, your body just packs weight on regardless of what you do to diet. I was on them before, and it is a major reason I wanted to change docs. The doctor said that she only needed to see me for problems or once a year for a checkup and lab work for thyroid. But every time I had the pharmacy contact the office for a refill the nurse would say I had to come in. It was about every 3 months. We had a lot of doctor visits for the kids and couldn't afford to just keep going in to the doctor to have her write an rx that she could call in. NOt with the PT for Jess and all fo the medications for Jess and I. WHen I would ask if the doctor could order the blood work with-o an office visit before they were ordered and one after to get results (even if normal results the nurse insisted on an office visit to get them after labs also). and I would explain that we just could not afford it, the nurse told me I needed to go check into a psychiatric hospital. I have no idea how not being able to afford so many doctor visits (would have been8 per year just for thyroid) relates to needing to go to a psychiatric hospital, but I got tired of it real fast. Esp as the doctor kept telling me she didn't need to see me to do the labs or results - but the nurse kept refusing to give results or give messages to the doctor. Even intercepted a fax to the doctor and a letter to her - and called me both times and told me that I wasn't "allowed: to send faxes or letters, esp if they had problems with her (the nurse) listed. I just don't have hte interest in dealing with bad staff, esp as this was the 3rd problem nurse the doctor had in 5 yrs. As for the lab, not sure but the results were in line with what I had expected for the most part. [/QUOTE]
