I made an appointment with my endocrinologist to ask for thyroid meds. Dr. Peat seems to favor armour thyroid.
She's going to say no. I am going to tell her that I want to be on thyroid medication and she is going to say -- you can't have that because you are hyperthyroid and you will have a heart attack, since you have high blood pressure and you are clinically hyperthyroid.
I would rather do this through an endocrinologist than go renegade, really because it seems she would know more about the dosages and so forth than I would; but I'm not feeling too hopeful about this.
Has anyone ever had a successful argument with their endocrinologist when you already know they're going to say no to you?
