Blah doc appointment

Hello everyone. Hope ya'll are having a good day.

Well my doc appointment was kind of blah. In a sense I felt rushed. The office staff sucks (can't find a better word) and I tried talking to my doc yesterday on the phone, and they said they don't do that there. they just take messages and pass them on. Can you talk to your doctor or do you have to have a go-betweener? And everything is so dang unorganized there. I think it's time to move on to another doctor. I think I've found one that doesn't cost an arm and a leg :-)

My levels are okay. My TSH is low but my t-4 total is within range. And of course my cbc came back good. I didn't get the t-3 or the t-4 free done. I feel pretty good. Better than I did last year at this time.

I asked some of my questions, but the doc seemed in a hurry and so they weren't answered that well. Nice eh. I asked if I could get pregnant now or if I have to wait and she doesn't advise that I get pregnant until I DO either the radioiodine treatment or surgery. They are very pushy about this. Pushy but not very accommedating. So I don't really have any answers other than they want me to do the Radioiodine treatment or surgery.

So like I said I think it's time to move on. Second opinions are always good anyways. I hope that everyone has a good day. Keep smiling always. Take care.

Hi Kim,


I think I would agree with you on getting a second opinion.
