1st news---thyroid

Post by barbaranoela »

Went for blood work again and endo and I had a chat--

I am doing just fine--so she said that WE could stop the meds-- and see how things go????
Said I* and what happens if I go off the meds?*
*well U could go back to HYPER--so I said to her---*STOP---I am NOT going off meds. to see how I do and maybe XPERIENCE the systoms of MENOPAUSE again!!! *Xcuse me Dr. Utica----but this is MY CHOICE and thats it!!!! and besides if everything is reading *purrfect* why upset the *apple-cart*
I think she is a super Endo.--had no idea that they do this with some patients BUT I will not be involved in this Xperiment~~~~~~
She--was *fine* with my decision---and I think rather *pleased*--

:thumbsup:

Good for you for voicing your opinion and also good for her for not getting 'put off' with you disagreeing with her!

Sounds like a good doctor and plan for you!

Barb!!
We all know that we have to be our own health advocate and you did a good job.... You know how you've been feeling since being on the thyroid med and I always say, "If it ain't broken, don't fix it"!!!!!
