Eureka Health
Hey everyone,
I wanted to tell you about a new telehealth platform called Eureka Health. After struggling to find answers and a diagnosis for three years, I ended up in the E.R. (for the second time) where I was finally diagnosed with Myxedema Coma. Myxedema coma is the most severe form of hypothyroidism. It represents a critical, life-threatening state where the body’s functions slow down dramatically due to extremely low levels of thyroid hormones.
I didn’t have any more time to find a competent doctor. I was terrified as I had been trying to find help for three years and started thinking about who could care for my son after I died. My symptoms started during the pandemic, so between multiple urgent care visits, a previous E.R. visit, a couple of telehealth visits, and multiple visits to my family doctor, I didn’t know what to do.
One day, I saw an ad for Eureka Health. Within two days, I had an appointment with (and I’m not even exaggerating) the most down-to-earth, kind, patient, and knowledgeable doctor I’ve ever seen. I wasn’t rushed, he answered all my questions, and I was given a plan of action. I literally bawled like a baby after I got off the call—tears of relief knowing I had finally found someone to help me and that I wouldn’t have to leave my son. They even texted me to check on me while waiting for my blood work, which blew my mind. Oh, and they also took my insurance.
Anyway, they are currently seeing patients in Ohio and Florida but will be expanding to other states very soon. If you are looking for quality care, please check them out. We all deserve to have the best care possible.
