Hi there Arizona Ladies!
I lost this board for a while, but have found it again. I had a lead on a naturopath who advocated Dr S's plan...she was on my insurance, and tho far away, i decided to go see her.
Not to slight your dr :-) I just could not find her on the approved physician site for my insurance, and since i could find the naturopath, i thought i would start there. Well, seems i was mistaken, and it was really her husband in the next office who advocated the sp plan, not her. She was more in favor of the blood type diet, thought dr.s was too liberal with fat. So, that was pretty much a wasted trip. She sold me some supplements based on 3 month old labs, and asked me to come back in a month. I was not very happy with her, might have had something to do with the fact that there was an ambulance in the parking lot when i drove up, and shortly after they took someone out on a stretcher who looked unconscious. Apparantly she had a 'reaction to a treatment' not the most comforting initiation to a new dr office.
Anyway, I decided to have the testing/consultation done through the schwarzbein website. I really wanted to do the tests before I start making any dietary changes to see where i am really starting out. took a little time to get the funds together, but i ordered the tests last week. They need to mail me the paperwork, as for some reason the confirming email did not come to me. figures.
I am very interested in what she will have to say. I have had thyroid problems for over 10 years. first hyper, now following RI trxmnt, hypo. my endocrinologist keeps telling me that there is nothing wrong with me, my problems stem from the fat that i am obese. however at my last visit i did convince him to test me for anything else..he finally agreed to test my DHEA...funny, the latest in fad supplements, and i actually have problems with it.
anyway, after reading this post, i checked my insurance again, and found dr anderson listed, but not under ob/gyn...so, i suppose i will call and try to get an appt, which, should be far enough away that it may be time to be tested again :-)
Right now i find myself entirely too out of it to even think about preparing food. we eat out often. too often. I am trying to be better about it, especially as i look at my daughters. so, hopefully dr s will have some magical words of wisdom for me :-)
well, so much for a quick reply...
Thanks for listening if you've gotten this far..i know i tent to ramble, and am awful about punctuation :-)
thanks,
Katey
