In 2017 my wife was having trouble with, what we thought to be, her medication. She could not sleep because of the pain and no amount of Excedrin or any other migraine medication seemed to help. She also suffered from fatigue (of course), as well as joint pain, depression, and unexplained weight gain.
We were referred to Kamel and after filling out forms on which we listed her medical conditions, medication and doses, and other background information, this "specialist" put her through a few physical exams, asked a few questions which were similar to the questionnaire we filled out.
He said that she suffered from hyperthyroid. I questioned this as she did not show the signs of hyperthyroid, but he, in eloquent and derogatory terms, told me that he was certain and had "seen it many times before" and that she "showed all the symptoms of one who suffered from hyperthyroid" and he had the blood test results that indicated such. Since I'm not doctor, nor did I have the blood test results, my wife trusted him and agreed to Radioactive Iodine treatment.
A week later, her symptoms persisted and actually got worse, this time adding a new symptom - weight gain. After going back to the Kamel, he determined to give her different treatments for hyperthyroid. We refused and left.
We then went to my wife's psychologist for her regular checkup (my wife has PTSD) and we told the psychologist all about the debacle with the endocrinologist. The psychologist asked several questions that no one had asked before and determined that it was my wife's physiological reaction to bipolar medication.
After a week off of the medication, my wife's migraines disappeared, but now she suffered from joint pain, depression, severe weight gain, and chronic fatigue - all signs of hypothyroidism!
Yes, the RAI was not only the wrong solution to a problem, but had put her into a hypothyroid state because Kamel doesn't understand medicine!!!!!!!
She's now permanently dependent on thyroid medication, but can't get the medication because getting the meds from big pharma is harder than pulling teeth!
"Dr." Kamel destroyed my wife's life!!!! read more
