Re: yet another update and some sort of questions. SIGH

[Guest guest]

hey, momof2,

back in late December I posted with a subject line 'money questions'

or something along those lines, which is where I got the $$ info on

Dr. Launius and Dr. R. You might try going back to then, and look

for a reply to me from Jan. But I think, and keep in mind that my

memory is shot these days, that Dr. L is about 50 bucks for an

office visit, and his labs are comparable to healthcheckusa.com

(free T3 $27, thyroid panel $45, or thereabouts).

Mine is, too! LOL Sigh. Can't remember much.

Ahh.... To feel awake and not poofy-eyed again.

Wouldn't that be so nice?

My eyes are always in pain from being so swollen.

Well, rats! *Thbbtt* (sticks tongue out and spits. LOL)

Why so? I mean isn't that supposed to be their job?

;-)

I want to have my antibodies tested. My neck is so thick I have a hard

time sleeping at night. When I lay down it seems to get thicker.

Plus my eyes- oh, my eyes. *deep sigh*

I know- complain, gripe, moan. LOL

I try not to, really!

:-)

Some days I can't help it.

I just want to cry.

I got an answer from . Dr. Launius charges just $79 for Free T3, Free T4, TSH and office visit. With antibodies tests added, it all comes to under $150.

I did not yet get an answer as to how long it takes to get an appointment. __________________________________________________

I now have an answer for the question of how long to get an appointment. They can usually get folks in the next day, but it may take a little longer for thyroid patients because he wants to make sure he enough time with them.M wrote:

Please hang in there, momof2. Once you are seeing the right doctor

and receiving the right treatment for you, you'll start feeling

better.

Good luck and let us know what you decide. You don't have to have an

endo to get your antibodies tested. And it's okay. It doesn't hurt

to cry. Man, have I ever been there!
