Any good endocrinologist in Puerto Rico?
I am a type 1 diabetic since 2004 and i was eleven years old. I am now 17 and what worries me is that i have an enlarged thyroid, i have hypothyroism, and i have two nodules. The reason my thyroid conditions are still untreated is because i want to find an excellent endocrinologist or thyroid specialist( i prefer endocrinologist tho :) I visited my last endocrinologist around 23 days ago for the follow up for diabetes a1c 6.7 by the way yeah! But he said that my enlarged thyroid had nothing to do with hypo and he said i should biopsy the nodules. He didnt even check my neck or didnt see the thyroid MRI in other words he didnt care. Anyways i stepped out of the office crying and he came to me and he said "what's wrong" and i didnt say anything. I went to another endocrinologist the day after and he checked my neck he said it was enlarged but he said no from the blood test hypo either, then he tells me to go do a nuclear test cos he said it might be thyroiditis. They injected me with radiation and i just got the result and it says.........(drumroll please) I HAVE HYPOTHYROIDISM!!!!!! i knew it all along cos i have constipation,fatigue,dry skin, hairloss, i feel like im dying at times. I dont what doctor to see in Puerto Rico and honestly i think they all suck. I think ill go to the states and get treated my aunt lives in Florida and shes a nurse.
