I just looked at Charlotte, sent you a link to "copy and paste". There seems to be several individuals to choose from. Personally, I can recommend only ONE person, based on my empirical evidence, but he is in Phoenix, AZ.
You state that you are 60 yo. In a perfect world - money not being a hindrance - we would all have our MANY hormone levels tested and addressed appropriately. But, the insurance company/whores, along with the pharmaceutical company/whores wrongly think this is more profitable, as most short-sighted, unethical, greedy institutions surmise. It actually ends up costing them more! Yet, you and I, and numerous others suffer at the hands of their ineptitude and ignorance!!!!!! Oh well.
I mean, isn't it their job just to throw some T4 at you (one of the big names of course) and hope for the best, and when that doesn't do the trick, they just gaslight your symptoms. I mean, who the hell are you - just the person that resides in your body 24/7. Who are you to question these "gods"? I mean they have spent a WHOLE 10 minutes with you.
But why would one expect a so-called endocrinologist take into account the numerous hormones that are important to the healthful function of the human body. One would have to assume that an "endocrinologist" would be able to prescribe something other than Levoxyl and Synthroid, thus not being a GIANT WHORE for the pharmaceutical PIMPS.
I mean one would assume (God only knows why) that an "endocrinologist" would know the hormonal effects on the body.
I mean, who am I to question the genuis of the self-described "god's" that barely even know WHERE YOUR THYROID IS LOCATED, much less know how it FUNCTIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!"Copy and paste": http://www.thyroid-info.com/topdrs/northcarolina.htm
It appears Dr. Weir has her fan base; at least she is open to prescribing T3. Most dr's are so entirely STUPID, they do not realize that this is what the body really needs, and if you do not convert T4 to T3, you have a high rT3, etc. Most endocrinologists are RETARDED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND do not deserve the title of doctor, much less Endocrinologist.
Any SO-CALLED endocrinologists have the humility to read these posts and want to be educated about hypothyroidism, just send me a post.
You must decide what person you feel is most applicable to your individual needs, whom you most feel fits your needs.
Dr. Weir:
This doctor really listens to you and cares about your feelings as well as symptoms. She discusses treatment options with you and does not talk down to you. She changed my medication at my request - I had been wanting to try some Cytomel because I believed that it would make me feel better as well as control some of my symptoms that the Synthroid was not helping. She also did some of the most complete blood work that I have ever had done. I highly recommend this doctor!"She is "doctoring the patient, not the lab".

A reader writes: "Dr. Erlacher spent time listening to my symptoms and my research. He suggested several options and we started with compounded my thyroid med to get just the right dose of T4/T3. I had spent a year and a half on Armour that ended up being a little too high in T3 for me and I couldn't get the exact right grams. He is now also helping me with my hormones. He's very personable and open." (Added 6/05)
