Hoshimot's, dysfunctional thyroid

[jamesebenthin]

I have celiac disease.  After an auto immune attack two and half years ago saw a alternative medicine practice; they told me hoshimoto's disease was most likely cause of most of the symptoms but not the trigger of the auto immune attack.  My question is because of my blood tests my endocrinologist's keep sending me away despite that I have all the symptoms of a dysfunctional thyroid (weight, muscles/joint pain, sensitivity to cold, chronic fatigue, non existent libido, headaches, water retention, extreme inflammation and list goes on)  yet my test scores according to them are "normal".  How do I get a doctor who will actually listen and move forward on being able to treat me instead of treating me like I'm crazy, lying or delusional because of my requests. Its so hard to live like your dead, to have a doctors tell you to exercise more and eat better.

Did you ever get luck with this? This sounds very similar to my situation and I am eager for answers and it seems like there are none. I would love to talk with you on what you've tried and what has helped. I'm tired of professionals telling me to try to avoid stress when my only stress sources are necessary like school and work.

Just sent another PM with doctor info, for your consideration.

All of the doctors recommended are either unable to schedule or do not take insurance.

Thank you, I've contacted a few of the doctors offices and am awaiting confirmation on whether they accept my insurance.
