Hi Terri,
Welcome to this forum. You will see what we all do in the value of TCM here as you just had a response from her. She is so valuable in wealth of knowledge and general benevolence.

I so agree you should get at least 3 more opinions and preferably by a progressive doctor who integrates natural medicine in his/her practice.

Thyroid, glands, hormones...........very much misunderstood to say the least. NOT understood is more like it. I'd hate to see you do something drastic only to find out in short time EUREKA! WRONG MOVE!

I suspect that hormones play a major role in diseases. I'm nobody, but I just hope you wait a tad and research and see what happens. Pay attention to what the doctors tell you, research on the web and be informed for your appointments. Don't let them intimidate you with their diplomas. Be educated.

Best of luck,
Kritts
