Good Doctor Experience Finally!!!

Just wanted to post that I saw a great Nurse Practicioner yesterday who ran lots of blood work and is sending me for an ultrasound of my thyroid!  He told me that he bases treatment on symptoms and that the ranges are too high for "normal" and they don't mean a whole lot if you aren't feeling well.  He would like to see my TSH no higher than a 1.0.  He really paid attention and didn't make me feel like a crazy woman!  I was so relieved and feel a lot less worried.  A little nervous about what the thyroid scan will show, but still feel more at ease!

Now you will get some DNA from this guy, send it to me and I will clone him by the millions and send him to all who are stressed out by inadequate/inexperienced/ingrate/twerps of so called professionals!
Hope the scan goes well for you.

Congratulations on finding someone who will listen to you! It is so important to feel like you have someone who is hearng what YOU are saying....not just going by tests and numbers.

Good luck with your scan. Hope it will be good news :)
