Esther,
Right on, girl! You said it all so succinctly. Every time I am a "bad"
girl, e.g., I assert myself, or even show some tears (God forbid!), I get a
prescription for antidepressants, a referral to a psychiatrist, or more
"muscle relaxers." My endo admitted that what he liked most in being an
endo was the biochemistry aspect. When I replied, "you mean analyzing and
fiddling with lab tests," he nodded.
Esther, please tell me in detail about your goiter: the history, and
treatment, and how it's going now. If you already have, please chalk it up
to memory impairment from too much Synthroid. And, since I live on Long
Island, I am only too happy to make a trip into Manhattan to the Upper East
Side, if this endo turns out to be a human being.
Thanks. Linda
