Not Taking Your Health Care Into Your Own Hands

We are trained in our society to believe that doctors know best, and that when we go to a doctor we are getting the best care.  It’s true; doctors are doctors because they care about people.  They want to help them, you included.  But doctors now function in a health care model designed to treat emergencies and simple, straight forward, conditions.

Relying Solely On Medications To Manage The Symptoms

Falsely Believing That All of the "Correct" Tests Have Been Done, and That Everything on Your Lab Reports is "Normal"

This is a huge trap thyroid patients fall into that you absolutely must avoid. Where my Center is located in Southeastern Michigan, many local thyroid patients have gone to their family doctors (as well as any have second and third opinions done by specialists!). They go there, have tests done, and then come out with the same thing they had before: a report that says that the labs are "normal" and a diagnosis of depression, anxiety, or worse - just aging.

Accepting "Hypothyroidism" As The Label For All of Your Symptoms

The truth is....your body is sick. What commonly happens is that when no simple explanation can be found for your symptoms you get blood test and get labeled with hypothyroidism.

First, most people do not realize that most doctors really do not have much training on how to deal with Fibromyalgia patients. In fact Fibromyalgia completely puzzles most doctors....period! Think about it. When you went to your doctor, how thorough was your evaluation really? What exactly did the doctor examine?
