I have thyroid problems!
My assigned doctor is to overburden with many people needing help. She does not help me in any way!
I am very depressed, lost much hair tired and have gained 20lbs. I also have stiff person! I am stable with my stiff person. Cannot get in with another endocrinologist for 6 months. I need help now!
Dr.pittock is my neurologist

I truly believe that Mayo was worth it in every way. My husband has a complex type of cancer that attacks multiple fronts of health. We went to Mayo and they put him on a path to keeping this cancer under control, 14 years and counting.
Here is a link to request an appointment.

I understand these days it can be very difficult to get help. We waited 6 months for a pet scan locally, for husband, that is beyond unreasonable, but I hear it a lot.
Have you tried any other medical centers besides your regular doctor?

@mombee39 You sound desperate! Are you just working with the doctors in your town? If so, have you considered a comprehensive medical center. It means that they take most all patients and have doctors for all types of situations. The same with university medical centers. Doctors at both usually do research. Can you ‘google’ and see what comes up in your area? Dr. Pittcock is your neurologist—Can you get a referral from Dr. Pittock?
When did the hair loss and weight gain start ?
