Greetings all,

I am a hypothyroidism sufferer looking for a good doctor in Minnesota (Twin Cities area). I am desperately searching for a doc who will prescribe DESSICATED THYROID to me, but so far have had no luck. Is ANYONE aware of someone in the Twin Cities area??? An endocrinologist, a general doctor, I don't care.

Thanks so much for any ideas or suggestions :)

Why do you want Dessicated Thyroid?
It's unpredicable. You're never sure exactly how much the level is in it.

I've heard from countless other hypo-thyroidism sufferers that it works very well. I've never taken it, so I can't say, but it seems that so many hypo patients are not getting what they need with T3 or T4 only meds.

But....I guess it doesn't really matter, since I'm about as likely to have my doc prescribe me heroin as natural thyroid pills.
:)

The search continues..

Hi Emanne

I use dessicated thyroid (armour) and have found it to be quite successful as have millions of others. Here is a link to locate a prescribing dr in your area http://www.armourthyroid.com/con_phLocator.aspx

Another dessicated thyroid source is westhroid, you can google their site. (not to be mistaken for synthroid which is a synthetic t4 only presription medication)

There is a great (very well reputed) site for information at www.stopthethyroidmadness.com that has thousands of members/followers (facebook, links etc), even links for nth (naturally desicated thryoid) prescribing physicians, although there are a few who report back the doctors were not what they posted to be.
