When I first read this I totally agreed! Well with the LIVER part. NO doctor tells anyone what all these drugs do your liver. ONLY since I have a liver disease do I question EVERY drug a doctor wants to throw my way. You might say I am hyper sensitive to drug pushing doctors. I have a friend that is an admitted alcoholic and on a cocktail of 24 different drugs. She is a mess!!! She won't eat any thing healthy and complains constantly about her weight. She is 100 + lbs over weight. The heavier you are the higher your dosing! She won't walk or exercise for anything. I told her she is on a suicide mission. She is not well and I attribute it mostly to her doctors pushing drugs. I would agree she might need something but there is a lot to be said for moving our butts. Her situation hurts my heart and makes me feel sad for so many that are in her shoes.
I hate that I have to take thyroid replacement from thyroid cancer. But I am so greatful to God that he gave me a doctor that was willing to hear how miserable I was feeling for 5 long years being on Synthroid. As soon as I told my new endo. she switched me right then and there. I had BEGGED my other dr. the whole 5 years telling her I was wickedly depressed and so sad and not feeling human or like a woman. She wouldn't budge. This new doctor changed me to Levoxyl. In a few short weeks I was like, hey life is different and I feel so much better. I am also on bio identical hormones! Love them!!! My husband loves my Levoxyl too, cuz he sees a clear difference too.
Thanks so much for starting this possibly life changing thread! :thumbup:
