A Step in the Right Direction......Finally.

[Guest guest]

Went to my doctor this morning to get my scripts updated and told him to either

take me seriously about my thyroid problems or refer me to someone who would. He

was very nice about it and referred me to a specialist. I have my first

appointment in two weeks.

Everyone please put your thinking caps on and tell me what I need to say or know

before I get there. I want to be prepared to get started on the road to

recovery.

Any and all comments or opinions welcomed.

Good on you!Thats the thing about this illness - you need to be very

hands on or you will miss out on getting the best treatment! Doctors

are there to work for you (and the the prices we pay too right they

should be!)so never be afraid of telling the doctor what is what! Not

many doctors know a heck of a lot about hypothyroidism so chances are

(if youve been doing your homework!) you know more than him!

Good luck with your appointment :-)
