Ben Dardashti: On his labs I actually scored higher than normal labs and he did not even suggest thyroid meds; near 5 on both.
I forget the doc's name, but while I was at the Tarzana Treatment Center's Clinic I got virtually no help with my thyroid. They didn't do testing and "just take this dose of levo even if you feel like shyte" style medicating. I actually ended up running completely out of meds and having to go without for nearly a year until I got insurance through work.
Olga Lerner: Under her care I never got to optimal levels. She was also unfazed by the repeating "innumerable nodules" phrase that kept popping up in my ultrasound and presented goiter. She was the one who gave me this experience http://damnedhealth.blogspot.com/2014/12/fed-up-with-my-endo.html . Oddly enough not too long after this she ended up conviently not at the facility anymore so I got another endo.
Ileana M. Pat: She seemed promising at first. She listened to my symptoms and decided to check my adrenals. I started to tell her my sleep cycle and work, she flailed around to tell me to take the tests per a time. The funny part was she didn't follow up to go over the results as they pertained to my lifestyle at the times they were taken. I also got zero ultrasounds to check my goiter or nodules, only one round of testing in a year, and only one appointment. She gave me one dose of medicine with a year's worth of refills, thyroid hormones need to be assessed every 3 months! My levels at the end of the year is actually lower than I've ever seen them, damn near a complete thyroid crash and my throat is so big I wake choking. Yeah thyroid patients can just be ignored. Not to mention I have questionable adrenal readings with a lump just above my kidney that feels like it rubs my rib cage. It hurts something fierce when I'm in an aggravated state... adrenal tumor? Sounds plausible. Oh that could need checked maybe. Na, let's ignore it some more.
