Differences
I don't want to jump the gun and claim I've been cured just because I've been on medicine 2 days - the whole placebo effect. It's going to take time, bloodwork and careful regulation of dosages to get to a truly cured position.But I will say ...

[x-posted from angilfyre]So check these shenannigans...I had my appointment with the endocrinologist. He is Russian, and has a very sterotypical abruptness about him... but it wasn't off putting. He listened an...
Biopsy
I wish doctors would be honest when they say something won't/shouldn't hurt.I went for the thyroid biopsy today. For starters, they wouldn't let Mike in with me. I was already nervous despite the valium I took before the appointment.
Mon 6/22

An update

Happenings...
For those on my regular LJ, you know I'm just a tad bit pissed at doctors at the moment. I'm hoping to change that though...I made a LOT of calls this morning and found an endocrinologist to get a second opinion. I could hear the slight soun...
