I'm sorry about the tone of this post, but I just needed to vent!
So I went to see my family practice doctor today, whom asked me how my appointment went the Endo. I told him about the Endo doctor saying that I either had Hypo of that Polycystic Ovarian thing. He said hum, and proceeded to look up the blood work that the Endo and run on me on Tuesday. He said, well your TSH is fine, so I think it won't be the thyroid. I said with all due respect, it is my understanding that not all TSH tests show all problems associated with the thyroid. He said yea, but that was years ago. The new TSH tests show more sensitive thyroid problems. So he went on and one, about how the thyroid, probably wasn't my issue. So I said, well then tell me why I am tired all the time (I'm only 30), cold all the time, have hair growth were I shouldn't, have a goiter, and keep gaining weight like I am eating fast food for each meal. He then said, well maybe you should go on depressions medicine. That's when I went bolistic! I told him I wasn't depressed, and that if I was depressed, it was Kaiser that was depressing me for not treating my symptoms that have been ailing me for months.
He then went on to ask me why I hadn't seen my previous Endo for the past two years. And I told him it was because he said that although I had a problem, he wouldn't be able to treat me until I had a child, which would probably balance my Thyroid. My docotor then laughed, and said that he would let the Endo's figure out what my problem was.
Kaiser SUCKS! And I can not wait until June so that I can change my health plan to PPO.
Okay I'm done now.....I can resume being back to my normal cheerful self. :)
Thanks for listening!
