LIzaJane,
For what's worth as I read your post I came away w/ a "good" feeling just based on your description of the new doc and his approach to you as a patient. It seemed that he was interested in your whole picture not just that portion related to his specific subspecialty. From my limited knowledge of BMP and PTH what he described makes sense to me.

I hope he works with you and your endocrinologist to address your TSH levels so that you can think clearly. I'm happy for you too that your insurance recoginzes the value of the PTH therapy and will cover the expense.

As you said maybe this can help Silverlady too. Thanks for the upbeat post and many good thoughts to you.
