It was your post that got my own brain whirring and popping about my [now] Immune thyroid and the PN immune issues...So I just plugged in 'Statins+Thyroid' and got a bit of illumination?
I fear many docs can't see or want to see if there IS a forest around the single 'tree' part of you that is their specialty. Your GP is supposed to know about this 'oversight' stuff, but systems these days aren't conducive to writing a letter to the primary after each visit from the specialists. We have to be our own gatekeepers -sigh...
Daneilla - yes how much other docs are informed about 'US' and how much exposure they get/have after med school is usually long ago and far away?
Some docs and [I am newly finding due to a new dentist?] dentists are much more familiar with all the connections than others.
As long as a doc remains curious, caring, and progressive in our treatments they are the good ones? To me it seems that the lazy ones write us off. I have to guess and ask - HOW often and on what are these docs continuiously 'recertified' in? I admit, that I got awfully totally and blessedly LUCKY that I have found the docs I have [90% of them at least]. I just wish you find yours and everyone else here! - j
PS: So many 'patients' these days are of the mind that IF they get a PILL problems will go away. We do know that's not the issue - we are proof?
Super good thoughts for the weekend -everyone may you remain cool and dry in all of the good ways!
