Here's an update on how important it is to get early care that is correct. Last year I taught part-time. Today I was offered a research position that begins in about a month that is almost full-time. I have been taking the increased dose of levoxyl for almost three weeks and many of my symptoms have started to abate. In addition, I can tell a big difference in my energy level from taking B-12, which I began doing per Dr. Friedman a week ago owing to my lab results. I confidently accepted the job offer because I really do trust that I will see even more improvement over the coming weeks. I will have had the benefit of almost seven weeks of Dr. Friedman's treatment prescriptions as far as thyroid hormone dose goes when I start, and about a month with all of the vitamins that he told me to take. Had I waited to see Dr. Knecht at the end of October, I could not have accepted my new position at all, much less with confidence. I really don't think that I would be in any condition to start a new job at the end of September if I were still getting treated by my G.P. and waiting to be seen in late October. So ladies, as soon as you are diagnosed, it bears emphasis, get in to see a specialist! And a good one!
