Endocrinologist in Milwaukee?

S.,
I have had hypothyroidism for over 10 years now and any doctor can test your TSH level - you should be aware of the Normal range though. It is between 0.5 and 3.2 or 3.4. I do take the non-generic brand though because the amount of "thyroid hormone" varies in the generic brand and I was recommended by a few people (both medical people and friends) to take Synthroid so the amount was consistent in each dose taken. This is easily controlled by meds, so just keep your Thyroid Stimulating Hormone levels in check and things should be fine! Feel free to contact me or even google TSH levels or Hypothyroidism. There is a ton of information online! Good Luck!

Hi S.
There is a female doctor, Dr. Pifel, at St. Lukes. She is great; very kind and understanding. She has 2 little boys. Not sure of the phone number. Good Luck!!!

I was going to an endocrinologist at St. Lukes in Milwaukee on 27th Street (on the South side of Milwaukee). Although my endocrinologist recently moved out of state, I have always liked that clinic. We live in Racine so I'm going to find someone down here now. Although a friend of mine says that her primary just monitors it. I, too, have hypothyroidism. I'm on Levoxyl (not generic), due to the generic kind not working for me. I had to increase my dose with each pregnancy (since they like to always keep preggos' TSH levels between .5 and 2) and then I was told to automatically reduce my dose back to what I was taking before each pregnancy after they were born. I was then checked around 6 weeks after. Then if the level is good, I've been checked yearly after that.
Good Luck!

I'm not from Milwaukee, but I can tell you about hypothyroidism. I was born without a Thyroid gland at all and was diagnosed and put on meds at 3 months of age...I'm almost 30 now. Since pregnancy messes with your hormones, you should definitely have your TSH levels in check! Also, make sure you get your baby's TSH levels checked as well to be on the safe side.
If you go to WebMD.com, you can find out more about it and/or you can email me with any questions. ____@____.com LUCK!
