Not only have I asked him, I have suggested meds to him. For example, I researched T3 (Cytomel) for relief of BP depression and showed him the professional journal articles on it and the case studies. Now I am titrating on it and getting the require blood tests to monitor my thyroid. We discuss meds in detail and if we are considering an addition or change I ask him why and what he thinks and what his experience has been with other patients and he weighs in on it. I like to be proactive in my care and I'm glad he works with me.
