Hi Rachel
did you mean the details of the doctor at Manly or the Trichologist i used to see at Balmain?
I can understand you wanting to check up on everything and be armed with questions when you see your doctor. Also being one step ahead of the doctor is handy as it cuts out a lot of wasted time and effort.
Good to hear you have found a good doctor, even if you have to travel to the Central Coast. It can be a pain travelling hours away, but in all honesty, when you have been messed about by various doctors and you finally find a good one, i'd say it's worth flying interstate. That's the point i'd gotten to. I would have flown to New Zealand if i had too
It is awaful being that desperate, but just goes to show how many inadequate doctors there are out there. At this rate, most of us could qualify for GP status at the very least!!
Hoping all goes well and someone can shed more light on your hormone results. I do know if you saw my trichologist he'd likely order a full hormone saliva test. His name is Anthony Pearce and he has a lot of medical/informative articles on the net for people to read and also his contact details. He mostly deals in hair issues and low iron, but also has a very good understanding of how everything cross relates.
Take care
PS: the other people who have helped me have been the Naturopathy Clinic at the ACNT Clinic in Favaux St, Surry Hills. You only pay $2 for a consultation as you see students first, then their teacher will come in and nothing is approved without the teacher's input, so it's totally safe. I've been seeing them to help regulate my hormones and they've helped a lot. They are on the net too if you want to read up on them further. They also do a heap of other things at the Clinic as it's a school as well for beauty and natural therapies and right near Central Station.
