I’m always suspicious when there are absolutely NO opposing viewpoints in the comments. Black-and-white thinking always gets us into trouble, whatever side of the issue we are on.

(From Janie: Hi Laura. Not sure what you are talking about it. lol. But in case you are referring to comments to these blog posts, there are definitely opposing viewpoint comments on many posts.)

Janie — I admire your stand and applaud your courage. We have been engaged in this battle since 1992. In our practice, we never wanted to deal with thyroid issues for our patients…that was considered best left to endocrinologists. Sadly, the patients always paid the price for that so back in 1992 we began to offer natural, desiccated thyroid to our patients whose symptoms and clinical evaluation warranted it, even when the blood tests failed to correlate to the symptoms. All I can say is, 15,000 patients later, we are still on a mission to change the way people are treated for hypothyroidism, and most of those we have helped consider that they have gotten thier lives back! Keep up the fantastic work. Seriously.…heroine?

Those reps are just well-trained parrots. Most have background in sales and no medical degree. You go Janie!! We all know the truth and are spreading the word! We are grateful for what you do!

I want that sticker!

From Janie: It’s a free gift when anyone does a current order for a STTM book from the publishers website (http://www.laughinggrapepublishing.com/all-about-the-book ), and at the same time, uses the Contact from STTM at the bottom of any page to let me know it’s wanted when the book is sent. So if you already have the book but not the sticker, consider ordering another book and give it to your family member, friend or doctor, and keep the sticker. lol.

Great job! Especially telling him that he was wrong. I’ve corrected a lot of people at work. I’m a hospital pharmacist. I actually had a fellow pharmacist say that of the chronic illnesses, if you’re going to have one, hypothyroidism is the one to have. Easy to measure (TSH) and easy to treat (T4). Yeah, right!! I calmly put her in her place. I try to educate every pharmacist I can on the subject, even writing comments on CE websites. Keep up the good work Janie. I’ve learned more from you than my five years in college.

I have only one thing to tell you: YOU GO GIRL!
When you told him he was wrong, you did a right thing.
He was wrong! People like him are torturers that put people like me through misery for years!

You go Janie! I have had similar battles, with a drug rep who is a neighbor. If people hear it enough, it will become more of a norm, accepted, etc. Thanks as always for all you do!!!! gg
