Truly, the lack of concern and rigid indifference that many specialists have for the suffering of those who trust them is shameful. However we are all human, and we all resist change. Please remain vocal. You are in a unique position to have a voice. I can imagine that it takes courage and, strong self esteem to be a "lone wolf." Just know that we truly appreciate your efforts. Sincerely, Lil Dear Dr. Pepper,

Please remain vocal. You are in a unique position to have a voice. I can imagine that it takes courage and, strong self esteem to be a “lone wolf.” Just know that we truly appreciate your efforts.

You, sir, gave excellent information to all who listened to the Thyroid Patient Community Call for over an hour, and those who missed it can listen to the recorded call for EPISODE 6 here: http://www.talkshoe.com/talkshoe/web/talkCast.jsp?masterId=62603&cmd=tc Yes, the frustration and disdain by thyroid patients worldwide towards the vast majority of Endocrinologists is livid and widespread. Adjectives which consistently come from the mouths of thyroid patients about Endos they have visited range from arrogant, rude, condescending, rigid, narrow-minded, Synthroid-Nazi, TSH-obsessed, ignorant, uninformed to just plain awful. Exceptions to the latter litany of experiences are out there, but they are far and few between. As a result, patients refuse to darken the door of any endocrinologist again if it concerns thyroid treatment. So for all of us to find an Endo like yourself who has some wisdom about the far better treatment with natural desiccated thyroid, or at the very least combined T4 and T3, is a complete breath of fresh air. We, as thyroid patients who have made the switch from T4-only to desiccated thyroid, know the truth. Desiccated thyroid has changed all our lives ten-fold, and is the very reason that Stop the Thyroid Madness exists--to compile that important truth for other patients who still struggle with T4, and for them to become educated and take that information right into their doctors offices, and demand change. Thank you for being a light in a dungeon of Endocrinology darkness. Janie Bowthorpe http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com Hi Dr. Pepper.
