		<description>Laura,

The doctor&#039;s name is Dr. Mark Stolar.   He works out of a downtown office. You can thank Susan for the referral in advance. You will not be disapointed.</description>

		<description>Hi Susan!

Thank You soooooooooooooooooo much for your suggestion. I went to Dr. Stolar  a week ago and he put me on Armour. What a blessing to have a doctor that will finally listen to me. I was able to find armour but I really had to search around for it si we will see how that goes. .  I do not fear because the doctor is willing to try other  combos such as your cytomel and synthroid. Susan, Susan, Susan, I cannot thank you enough for all your help. You were a God send in the REAL sense.</description>

		<description>My problem is I cannot find a doctor that will prescribe  T3. I live in the southern suburbs of Chicago. Any suggestions?. I have so far been to 3 endocrinologist and one  internal medicine doctor. I don&#039;t work any more because of problems with depression, concentration and memory loss.  I can not afford to keep paying for these doctor visits and repeated blood test for nothing. And, I can&#039;t afford to keep buying bigger and bigger clothes. I am miserable.</description>

		<description>I am so sick and tired of telling my story over and over again but decided to share it on this website in hopes of some sort of resolution.  About 5 years ago, my thyroid quit and I gained 70 pounds.  I worked out before and after this occurred, so that was not an issue.  When they FINALLY figured out what was wrong, I had hopes the taking and getting my thyroid levels right, eating right and working out I would get back to normal.  Well that was not the case at all.  I actually became rather obsessed with working out and was working out about 3 hours a day, eating less than 1200 calories a day only to lose about 4 pounds over a year period.  Then I quit, ate whatever I wanted, and nothing happened. I didn’t gain any weight back.  I started up again about 6 months later and was jogging and walking 3 times per week.  I did lose about 20 pounds but gained it all back.  I am now at an all time high.  I am ready to start working out again, regardless of any results but want to talk to my Dr.  about Cytomel.  I have pretty much given up and don’t think I will ever get back to my normal self.  I am in good spirits and have decided to just accept myself for what I am….I don’t think it is fair and I don’t like that I have to be so overweight while I was normal all my life.  It is just not fair I just can not believe that this can not be fixed.  Its so frustrating.  I am not a saint, I do indulge from time to time, but only on the weekends.  My mother who is about 100 pounds eats twice or more than I do, doesn’t do a thing and maintains.  Every one I know maintains their weight with a little fluxuation.  I just don’t understand how a person can gain 70 pounds and there is nothing I can do about it.  Sometimes I think I need to quit work and go to a fat farm for 6 months and only work out 24-7.  Nothing works.  I need help and guidance.</description>

		<description>Hi Tonya!

I live in the Cape area and couldn&#039;t find a doctor at all to listen to me in Cape or St. Louis.  Finally after 4 years of feeling physically and emotionally ruined by doctors telling me that I had nothing wrong with my thyroid (even when presented with two ultrasounds confirming Hashimoto&#039;s) I found a doctor in St. Louis who seems to be concerned with how I am feeling along with the bloodwork.  Remember normal labs are not necessarily normal for everyone as a whole.  We are all individuals and should be treated that way.  I am currrently taking 100mcg. of levothyroxine daily and my new doctor just added 5 mcg. of cytomel.  I  haven&#039;t started it yet but tomorrow will be the first day.  I am so excited and hopeful that it will help.  I was always around 115lbs. until this all started now I am at 155lbs and have gotten as high as 162.  Her name is Dr. Naseer in St. Louis.  You can search her on the web.  I too had a lot of your symptoms along with hair loss, constipation muscle aches, flushing episodes in the middle of the night preventing good sleep, then exhausted during the day.  I have also had muscle tremors and low body temperature.  The anxiety was so bad I thought I was going mad.  It sounds like you&#039;re a local gal.  Good luck to you and email me if you wish.  It is kinda nice to have someone to talk to who understands your situation.</description>

		<description>i was wondering if you could give me a name of an Endocrinologist in the St. Louis or Cape Girardeau that would talk to me about Cytomel..I have been on Levoxly for 7 years now, I have gained 30 pounds the last 2 years..I feel very jittery, anxiuos, and overwhelmed at times.  i have been reading about Cytomel and I feel I may benefit from that, but my current physician will not prescribe it for me.  I have discussed with her my concerns with my syptoms with her, but she said it is my age.  
I have Health Link insurance hopefully i can get a doc that accepts the insurance.</description>
