Hi @marmymoomy. I am not sure why your Dr. has not referred you based on the symptoms you describe. I can only imagine how challenging it is to function day to day with all of that going on. Having been in a similar situation once, I think it is important for you to advocate for a referral and if it continues to be an issue, I would seek out an Endo on your own. There are so many good Endo's that can help you understand what is going on and I would go that route if possible. While there may be insurance coverage implications, it would not do you much good to continue to deal with the issues you are experiencing. I would just vote with your feet and find someone else. My $0.02.

@matt2024 thank you so much! I have the name of an Endo whom a family member goes to, and highly recommends . This family member also said she suspects a thyroid issue. My TSH levels I guess to my Dr looked fine, but I know I need to seek further testing. She is a new PCP for me , so she doesn’t really know me ( my former PCP of 28 years is now retired ) Thank you SO very much for your two cents 😂

One more thing : I was taken aback when she asked “ what do you mean by scalloped tongue” 🙄
