Lately I’m beginning to think I’m overmedicated. Or crazy. I’ve been on 50mcg of generic Synthroid for almost three weeks now.

So I’m reading an article from thyroid patient advocate Mary Shomon. In this article she discusses why and when you need an endocrinologist. As you may know, I saw an endocrinologist and he shot me down. Took some tests and patted me on the head and sent me on my way (figuratively not literally) empty ...Read more.
