I am scheduled for CS with contrast for neck blockage in arteries in a week and see the vascular surgeon and then back to endocrinologist PA. I plan on bringing Dr Starr’s book which I have marked everything that matches my list of 10 plus years of problems. Where it goes from there I don’t know. I’m on Medicare and a supplemental insurance so I have to go thru who they cover. Endocrinologist wanted me to oral surgeon for the TMJ/D however they do not take Medicare or my insurance. Then in re-reading book it showed TMJ is listed as probable for hypothyroidism 2. I have lost all faith in doctors. I expect more medical gaslighting.

It covers hasimotos disease as well as many other topics. He had hypothyroidism type 2 as well. There are a number of doctors who have contributed to this book as well. I had been trying to figure out problem for years with no help from GP’s. A clerk in a health food store recommended this book. Finally all my symptoms were in black and white in front of me. I am looking to find copy of another book - Hypothyroidism the unsuspected illness. Next week is second appointment with endocrinologist and the book is going with.

I didn't find your book, but found another that is very enlightening. The title is one in the Medical Medium series, this one titled "Thyroid Healing-The Truth Behind Hashimoto's, Graves', Insomnia, Hypothyroidism, Thyroid Nodules & Epstein-Barr by Anthony William. He explains the medical community is just catching onto how Epstein-Barr is causing medical issues.
This book outlines that Epstein Barr Virus (EPV) is the root cause of these diseases. Once you contract EPV it never leaves the body. I had read this in another book before also.
I had a severe case of mononucleosis (caused by EPV) when I was 7 years old. The virus goes thru stages, Hashimoto's being the 3rd stage. This explains multiple symptoms I've had over the years that no testing or doctor could ever diagnose.
There are things you can do to rid the body of some of the virus to help improve your condition.

I had blood tests about four years ago and because I am extremely tired consistently dr tested and showed I did not have mono but had somewhere in my past. Unknown when but as far back as I remember I have always been over tired.
I will have to check this book out. The guy who wrote mine spells his last name Starr with two “R’s”.

A layman’s explanation of hypothyroidism is basically low or slow metabolism. This makes weight loss and exercise difficult. A specialist such as endocrinologist at a teaching institution such as Mayo or a University Center could be helpful. Do you have access to anything like this?

Second appointment with endocrinologist on Tuesday. I asked about hypothyroidism type two and got a no. I’m afraid she’s going to push statins which I can’t take and diabetes shots which I will not take. This is what I run into with doctors they don’t want to look further only push meds that don’t work so they just keep making them stronger.
Major cholesterol problem. Pre diabetes. They want me on statins I refuse due to being overdosed by a doctor and ended up causing major illness with muscles hurting stomach issues. With everything else - basal temp when first waking up is anywhere from 94.7 to 96.3 and I sleep in winter pjs two heavy blankets and socks. Extremely exhausted by mid day always falling asleep for at least one or two hours. Eye lids very droopy. Joints bother me. Weight gain watch what I eat exercise at least five days a week varying types and law work on top of that. Even after mowing the lawn which equals over two miles of walking mower my basal temp is 95.7. I have to wear night guard on teeth because I clench them. My left side of face under jaw line swells which pushes that side eyebrow up as well. My hands wrists bother me can’t crochet like I used to. I could keep going.
All they want to do is treat the symptoms and not the cause. I will not take stuff that isn’t going to treat the actual illness. It’s like chronic fatigue syndrome that because the blood tests don’t show it then it isn’t real.

If you have been “overdosed by a doctor” maybe you should consider changing doctors.
If you have “major cholesterol problem” an appropriate dose of a statin can be very helpful.
If you have hypothyroidism, you will likely need thyroid medication. Of course a med and dose suited to your needs. Weight gain, exhaustion and feeling cold can all be symptoms of hypothyroidism. Have you discussed these symptoms with your doctor?

Can you expand on this book you reference from Dr. Starr? Is it a book on hypothyrodism? I too have it but from Hashimoto's.

@cats04 statins are used to treat high cholesterol. Do you have a problem with that? You mentioned “diabetic shots”. Are you diabetic?
