I read: Living Well With Hypothyroidism: What Your Doctor Doesn't Tell You...That You Need to Know -- by Mary Shomon (about.com) and among many items discussed/resources, etc. Screaming To Be Heard.... is one of them. It all gets so complicated ... coordinating doctors, insurance, tests, .... that's why everyone on this board and boards like about.com/thyroid ... are so tremendously helpful.

Oh yes. I moved here 7+ years ago after working for the national (nuclear) labs ... I didn't work directly w/ anything ... at the supercomputer centers -- the last one I had to fight for a dosimeter ?sp? to tired to look it up ... left after 16 months ... had it the last 2 months ... I worked w/ the scientists who worked on the 'stuff' ... then well its like a bad lifetime movice :-) ... the Hashimotos and a slew of health problems, depression, blah, blah, blah .... all seeming connected like one circle w/o an exit ....> don't know what to tell you about the ADs and SEs, though.
I'll put one foot in front of the either and be grateful for other intelligent, articulate, compassionate, and supportive people like yourselves and Dr. Bob's site ... right? Okay one of my teens is waiting to ask me something ... no stress there :-)
