I just dealt with a close loved one who could not leave the state to go see my doctor. They decided to call defy until they can.
Defy is a bunch of crock. The doctor says take this everyday. 5mg x 3 a day. Take this much T a day. The nurse sends 5mg a day and half the t dose. We complain and they don’t respond and the doctor doesn’t call back when we are extremely frustrated.
Within a week we had to say “she is taking this much and she feels great now”.
“Ok well send in a new script.”
Now she has questions and nobody answered them for her. This is an extremely important question regarding woman and mensrrstion. Two weeks later no response.
I can’t wait till she can leave in a couple months to go see tier1.
I even told the doctor on the phone “doesn’t cytomel have an extremely short half life. Shouldn’t she take it 3 times a day?”. He said “yes she should.” And moved on to the next subject. He should be embarrassed that he doesn’t do what’s right from the start of therapy.
If I was not on the call they would of given her a shitty protocol and she would of felt worse.
Because of the knowledge bestowed on me by my doctor I was able to ensure she got what she needed .
The goal of the doctor is to spend time On the phone and get you started. They don’t send a script to the pharmacy and you pay the pharmacy. They charge you directly and then send the script.
Doctors who are in it to help give you a script and send it to a preferred pharmacy they trust: not a pharmacy where they can make money or every transaction and patient.
I could go on. One thing is clear though. Defy isn’t in this game to truly help men and woman . They are in it to make the dollar and the byproduct is to kinda help.
If they truly wanted to help. I wouldn’t have to clarify how bad their starting dose is. Someone who wants to help would give you the right dose from the get go.
I know you aren’t saying Tier1 does it any less sketchy, at least for the prescription part… they wanted me to sign paperwork saying I wouldn’t disclose what I was taking from them to any other doctor, including my GP, it was pretty sketchy. And they restrict you to the pharmacy they want to use just as much as Defy does. Maybe they handle the money part differently at least, for better or worse I guess?
The response time you got from Defy… well, that was pretty crappy. I pretty much just use them for the prescription at this point so I can have it legally, but they’ve at least always responded to me quickly.
You really didn’t ask them why they put that in there? just jump to conclusions?
Doctors who prescribe hormones are reported to the bar and pharmacists have done the same. These doctors end up losing license until they get through the damn process or sendup spending tens of thousands of dollars.
They are willing to send the medicine to any approved pharmacy that they have a relationship with.
You should google and see how many doctors are in trouble for just prescribing thyroid medication. The GP (asshole) says this person didn’t need thyroid and they report the doctor.
its a sad state and these hormone doctors have to protect themselves until idiots in the medical community realize that hormones are much healthier than their SSRI, XANAX, statins are.
I had a doctor tell my woman that she should just take SSRI and he would never prescribe her thyroid medication. Here take Xanax and here are some anti depressants.
Now she’s on thyroid meds and doesn’t take anything else.
you really should send them an email and ask them.
That’s like putting masking tape over a check engine light. There is more money to be made in prescribing certain drugs (statins, SSRi’s, benzos) versus thyroid hormones.
This is why private doctors are under siege, if only these private doctors could fall in-line and just prescribe statins, SSRi’s, benzos, only then would the threat of losing your license go away, when they stop threatening the establishments.
