@mariajean03 Are you still having problems with pain and constipation? Have you talked with your doctor? Your doctor is really the only one who can help with this.
( there is usually a LCSW in the office. Tell your doctor you’d like to talk to this person. LCSW is a licensed clinical social worker who is also a therapist)
Will you call the office tomorrow?

Blessing to you Becky. I've pulled so many years of records, I'm trying endocrinologist and internists.. it is crazy to me they don't, know, care, understand?
Health care, this year alone has cost me $500-$700 monthly (because I can't go back to any kind of work yet.. the fluctuation in cost is paying back the government for supplementing my insurance) plus a $9600 deductible that's met as of last month.
I had 4 internists, 1 a prepay office, in 25 years, same constant blood work results flagged, with the exception my sugar and cholesterol have been going up through the years, also weight, and bp.
If I hadn't gone in tears to my ob last September after 2 failed stapes bone replacements (same ear, first one just fell into my ear days after surgery doc didnt believe it until he went in for second replacement.. he sewed this one in??) and a baloon sinus surgery.. the echo from hollowed out sinus cavity and tinnitus make me feel crazy not sleeping or hearing on one side.. right side tinnitus starting recently. If I had known I had Hashimoto's, just getting rid of the inflamation, with diet and digestive enzymes, I possibly wouldnt have been so desperate to get any of those surgeries.
I'm so thankful, greatful, blessed that my bp, weight, circulation and want to move again are all so much healthier in just weeks. Just finding out I wasn't making digestive enzymes due to my thyroid. Also only taking levothyroxine with distilled water.
How do we as humans find a doctor, that actually diagnoses and treats the whole body. This shouldn't cause PTSD just trying to get help.
I'm sure this isn't an easy answer.. any advise is appreciated.
Thank you

Thanks. But there is no social worker in his office. I have one thru my primary care and a nurse. Abdominal scan coming up next week. I'm going to ask if they could work with my GI office doctor. Complicated!
