Go fuck your worthless self to death with jesus christs dick made of jagged sharpened non melting ice and take a cumshot from a dying polar bear on his last day after not unloading for three years and eat that goo for dinner like your boyfriends ass gravy you dick licking ball sucking ass probing motherfucking cocksucking fucking fuck, you, fuck you, you, you motherfucker YOU! :thumbsup

A lot of endos suck at treating thyroid problems as well. That's why it's important to do a little research (check that realthyroidhelp forum) so you walk in prepared.

Make sure she gets a prescription for dessicated thyroid (Armour, Nature Thyroid, etc) that contains both T4 and T3. Not just Synthroid (which just about every doc wants to prescribe now) that is only T4.

Hope it all works out. Hypothyroidism is awful especially when you aren't being treated right.

The worst part is, once she starts taking thyroid meds, even if they aren't enough, the signal her brain sends to her thyroid (TSH) might fall within range and most doctors will say "she's fine now" even though she doesn't really feel any better.

Save yourself a headache:

1. Insist on dessicated thyroid medication like Armour. Shit you can order this online for 30 bucks for a 3 month supply w/o a prescription.

2. When getting bloodwork done insist on these tests minimally: TSH, Total T4, Free T3.

3. Insist that her doctor allows her to adjust her dose based on the alleviation of symptoms, not what labs on a piece of paper say.

4. Get labwork done in the morning BEFORE she takes any of her thyroid medication.

5. Ideally, she wants Free T3 close to the top of the range. This is the active thyroid hormone. Having it towards the top of the range means there is more available for her cells to use.

I was so fed up with doctors pushing me from this endocrinologist to that endocrinologist, etc... I just decided to use my GP to order bloodwork and order my thyroid medication w/o a prescription.

I feel much better now and saved a lot of time and $ once I stopped jumping from doctor to doctor.

It's not that hard to treat once you have a plan... and the medication is very affordable.

Hit me up if you have any questions.

Fact is we (Canada) are your (the USA's) largest trade partner and have been for some time, Not just for oil, but for nearly everything... electricity, all manner of raw materials, etc. You are also OUR largest trade partner by far, but the dependancy isn't a one-way street my mis-informed friend, the flow of $ and good and services goes both ways.

However none of that matters in the present conversation where all I meant by wishing you were Canadian right now is that if you were here and had your citizenships then all you would need do is take your woman to any regular doctor, get a referral, and when your appointment date arrives you go see the specialist you needed to see and treatment proceeds from there.

And the best part is at the end of it all they present you with no bill of any kind.

Now some will want to chime in and prattle on about high taxes or some such nonsense. But the thing they conveniently forget is that if you Americans factor in the thousands per year you pay for health insurance along with your income tax/taxes/cost of living etc the reality is you are paying more than we are, and many of you are getting less for it.

Does that help you out some with your skewed take on Canada? Hope so.

Good luck with your problem.

What you young guys need to realize is that statistically speaking your health insurance premiums are being stolen from you. The odds are you will never need a major claim.

Now get older where statistically a claim is inevitable and you will be dropped like a hot rock unless you are part of a group plan that has enough young people in it.

Affording insurance isn't the problem for a lot of people, it's getting the insurance. Like you said it's gambling and insurance companies don't want to gamble with older people or those with existing conditions. So many, I'm one, have no health care because privately held corporations have to watch bottom lines.

No executive bonuses if you pay out to many claims.

yes if he was bringing money in to cover rent/food/bills she could use her money to cover her medical. there is no getting around that fact.

Because you have said in the past that you don't pay 50/50 of rent, utilities, groceries, etcetera because you are such a lifechanger.

Do you have a job? Have you paid 50/50 of all expenses in her household since you started living there excluding this extraordinary month? If not, then I guess you now have your answer.

Ah I don't know too much about dealing with a hyperthyroid.

I know she'd probably have bad anxiety / heart palps and weight loss if hyper. Probably have a high temperature a lot of the time as well.

Wish I could help more, good luck!

I was never ill or needed hospital treatment, except the occasional cold, from 1965 to 2008. Paid out my Health insurance like I should.

2009 I discover I have cancer and get it cured on the National Health. I paid $2 a visit to the doctor. Now I find out I have a hole in my gums and need a specialist dental surgeon. And the specail food I injected into me, free on prescription, for over a year has given me a hernia. It's common apparently. (shit!!) And will need an operation, free on National Health. I also see 2 specialists every 3 months, alternatively getting a ultra sound scan or a camera down my nose before hand. Just to check up. Free on the National Health.

I'm also getting invalid benefit.

All paid for over the years.

If I had been run over badly when I was 15 and wheel chair bound for the rest of my life, I would of been covered. Or anything else. I'm prepared to carry the few layabouts for the benefits. Yes they should be made to work, sweep the streets etc. But not at the cost of going to a Private Health Scheme.

For years I had one of those to give me a private room and no waiting time at my doctors. That's an option open to many.

Some of the replies here are disgusting. You guys need to have some shit hit you, to make you realise what it feels like. Not much, just a little bit.

What are some ways to make one see her??

I'd also like that one thyroid expert guy on here to look it over for me..

Thanks!!
