That sounds like a good book to read and one I need, Ivy. I just finished one on cholesterol. Was an eye opener.
Harriet, yes, that's the sort of things I was wondering about. My experience with my Dr. this last time, now that I think about it, is that she was rushed, and didn't take the time she did with me the other 3 times. I believe she is disappointed in me and blaming my choice to try the Armor on my bad labs (& got worse) and that came through loud and clear. She asked me again why I wanted to be on that and I told her to save my bones, etc. and she said the other med had no bearing on that - which is absolutely NOT TRUE.
I am upset that she doesn't recognize (or chooses not to) that side effect. I got it right off the package insert about bone re-absorption...so what do I do, call her on it and make her more annoyed? I do believe what she said that my out of whack thyroid is harder on my bones than the medicine is, though.
Anyway, even after all these days, the visit bothers me. I'm trying hard to make my numbers better this next time. It's a lot of work.
Harriet, did you think of asking for Thermography instead of the mamogram? I hear that finds tumors quicker than mamography and isn't harmful. These new 3D machines they're using has 3 times the radiation as the original mamogram machines, and they do a regular mamogram and then the enhanced 3-D one...and don't they read anything about radiation being bad for forming tumors? I don't yet know what I'll do.
I am working my plan, but I need some suggestions for very low-fat/cholesterol low calorie protein. Maybe some salmon recipes? Anybody got any other ideas?
Oh, that mail order place called me yesterday - 6 days after they got the form from drs. office - to say they couldn't read the insurance numbers. Meanwhile I'd been taking the generic form for 5 days.... thought about Dee....
