Another really good site I stumbled across to find a good endo: http://www.aace.com/resources/memsearch.php

I've noticed that many, many other "thyroid specialist" referral web sites only refer to holistic or alternative medicine specialists.  This one referrs to board certified endocrinologists.

(Oh man, I'm going to catch it now)  :-(

I will post some links too but later .

Tell med help to add spell check please... I know coming from a school secretary - that is bad - but since hypo - I think way to fast when I type and need spell check for the brain fog. ... not kidding really - sometimes I have to sit and ponder a word .... just like I did with the word "ponder." Then when I think to long I forget what I was going to write.

Crazy.... I mean crazy

Wow - Cheryl has pretty much got all of the ones I use and a few more (Thanks Cheryl!)  
I also like the on-line blood test interpretations:

The NIH (U.S. Government) site for thyroid cancers:  http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/types/thyroid

And the main site for endocrineweb.com:  http://www.endocrineweb.com/

Hope that we can get links to these on MedHelp (if copyright issues get resolved)

Hi,

If possible, try to grab ones that are already at MedHelp. There are copyright issues with some of these, but we will still take a look and see what we can do. Thanks.

Here are mine.  I had them saved in a Word Document so copied and pasted them.

The article posted first is the best for me in that it tells the protocol re papillary microcarcinomas whether to do a TT and/or RAI and the parameters for making such a decision.
