No probably about it....WE DID!
I am hypothyroidic (my body doesn't make enough thyroid hormone) and was fortunate enough that the doctor that finally diagnosed me after years of suffering, started me on Nature-throid.
Unfortunately, he died while we were getting everything adjusted after years of the medical profession telling me my TSH levels were OK. My subsequent doctors refused to prescribe any doses over 180 grains despite the fact that I was doing well on 240 grains. I fought with them to keep my dose higher.
One said he would only if I went to see an Endocrinologist and then only if he would OK it. I went. I got the biggest bullshit story on why I should NOT be taking Nature-Throid: I should be taking Synthroid, despite all the problems the synthetic thyroid has had, to include lawsuits. Anyway, he starts rattling off a long list of "problems" I should have because I was taking a higher dose than he usually prescribed. I had none of them. Then he tried to scare me into taking the Synthroid by saying that by taking the natural thyroid I was shortening my life span by 5 years. He had nothing to say when I told him that I would trade feeling like crap for 5 extra years versus feeling alive and full of energy for 5 less. Besides he had nothing to back up his claim that natural thyroid shortened your life expectancy. I got my 240 grains.
Whenever I have to go to another doctor, I have to go through the same bullshit all over again. Tell your friend she just has to stand strong and demand the dose that makes her feel alive. In the mean time, she may have to drive aways to find a doctor that will listen to her and NOT be wrapped up in the TSH propaganda. I personally drive an hour and 15 minutes to see my doctor in PA.
You response was spot on until you started talking about testing your TSH every 6 to 8 weeks and providing ridiculous figures as the range to shoot for.
In addition to paying his "wife's: fine he should also be thrown in jail for harboring a criminal.
I second that sentiment.
Bullshit! I'm 67 and the youngest person in my neighborhood. Every single one of us is MAGA. You must live in a city in California, New York or New Jersey.
Oprah's lover.
"Ortiz, 32, who earns $13 an hour in her job at a meatpacking plant in Pennsylvania, has lived in the United States for a decade, after fleeing El Salvador to escape a violent ex-partner and gang threats, she said in an interview and in immigration paperwork. "
A very good friend of mine did the asylum interviews for ICE. He said before they even came in for their interview he could write up his report on what she was going to say. She parrots the exact same story every single woman said when coming here and claiming asylum!
First: Claim abuse at the hands of a husband, boyfriend, etc.
Second: Claim gang threats even though she could not provide anything that indicated she specifically was threatened or that she had any connection, however remote, to a gang, other that living in a country that has "gangs."
She probably does. Biden's administration was handing out work permits like candy. You could be illegal but have a valid work permit.
Bwahahaha. OMG you went there!
“It’s one thing after the other,” she said. “This whole process has cost us so much money.”
Not nearly as much as the US citizens had to pay for your ass.
“She is a mother of an autistic child, she has no criminal history, and they have all of her background information,”
So your child gets food stamps and Medicaid compliments of the US Citizen tax payers plus all the additional assistance we pay for for his special schooling. Oh, news flash, being in this country illegally is a crime so that narrative is shot to shit. We have your background info, that means a notice was mailed to the address you provided. It is funny how the notices that tell them to appear at court or that they needed to "renew" their SNAP or Medicaid benefits never seem to arrive where they are living, but we had all your info.
"Lawyers said clients who received the notices also included spouses of U.S. citizens, who were actively trying to legalize their immigration status."
Don't you just love how they throw that in. What they forget to tell you is that they are here illegally and married a "citizen" who is most likely the child of another illegal born here, thinking that they will not be deported when the time comes.
Her story is not tragic it's contrived. Just like the 2020 election.
Outstanding! The MSM needs to stop with the poor immigrant narrative. Every friggen hispanic woman has multiple children and claims baby daddy is not in the picture and if he is, he "helps her out" with a nominal amount each month so she and the kids qualify for SNAP and Medicaid. Don't believe the bullshit narrative that they have been force feeding you. They are making more money that they do not claim taxes on, than you or I. Seize their assets. They ALL have multiple bank accounts! They keep one with less than $100 in it to show to government agencies to show their need for assistance. They NEVER show you the other ones that several thousand dollars go through every month.
Interesting. A misspelling of the title on Amazon (Darnkess, instead of Darkness), but the title on the book cover is the correct spelling of Darkness. Intentional?
Please in Pennsylvania, the majority are either permanent residents from the DR or their "citizen" children. They have no shame. Lying is a way of life for these people. They have no morals.
What you a saying makes no sense unless your income is so astronomical that you a paying an IRMAA or you did not sign up at age 65 and are paying a penalty.
SNAP is per person, not per family size. It pays for illegal kids simply because they are under 18.
Medicare Part B premiums for 2025 are $185 a month. WTF are you paying?
Another money laundering operation.
YOU CAN PRAY ALL YOU WANT BUT EVENTUALLY DAVID HAD TO PICK UP A STONE AND ACT AGAINST GOLIATH.
Do you have a backhoe? I might have a use for you.
Sweetheart, stop pushing big pharma's and the Rockefeller medicine's narrative.
The TSH is NOT a measure of thyroid function. The number don't have a damn thing to do with how the thyroid works. It measures the action of the pituitary gland. Your false narrative is what is keeping people undertreated for some phony made up numbers that do not purport what they claim to. It keeps the money rolling into medical profession because they convinced you that you need to do dozens of things and take multiple tests to prove to YOU that you are OK, when you are not! If you were, you would NOT need to keep testing yourself every 6 to 8 weeks!!!! Who in their right mind does something so stupid? Yet, here you are, still following and pushing their bullshit.
How the hell do you think doctor's diagnosed an underactive thyroid before these stupid tests? By Symptoms! They did not need a "test" to show that thigs were not right.
