  Recommendations for Chicago Endocrinologist? I am on my second up in dosage for Levo. It's been a few months and I feel beat up and exhausted. Do any other Chicagoans recommend a certain doctor to go to for their hypo check ups? Currently seeing Carol Touma @ Northwestern. I don't feel like she is really interested in finding the right medication and dosage for me. I would love to find someone who is more knowledgable on what I can also do for diet and daily lifestyle changes to improve my mood.

  Rule number one of being a thyroid patient: don't go to an endo ;) I can't help with Chicago recs, but thyroidchange.org has lists of Drs who are more with the times. I found my amazing DO that way!

  Einat M. asked:

  Hi, I have a question hoping you guys can help. Its been 2 years since I had my thyroid removed (Had papillary and follicular carcinoma) ... They are still not able to regulate me and I'm getting 325 MG of synthroid. it seems a lot, even for my weight!!! (doc says it too)... I don't know if it normal to take so much meds... Also looking for a good Endo in NJ or NY... Im not happy with my doctor... anyone in the area who can recommend a doctor who doesnt only go by the book that will ask questions, doubt things and hopefully get me back on track? A lot of those endocrinologists are working like a machine..

  Hypothyroid M. asked:

  A reader wrote: I live in a very small town with no endocrinologist or any speciality doctors (we have to go to the next state to see a specialist). I don't have health insurance and ones I have found are ridiculous. They offer 2 office visits a year, and no prescription coverage. I haven't been officially diagnosed, but thyroid issues run in my family. I did have some blood work done in March and my results were as follows: HF TSH
