Check your labs

I found out yesterday that my TSH has been abnormal since May of 2015. At that time I felt awful and begged my doctor to test anything he could. I never heard anything and assumed, incorrectly, that all labs were normal. I made an emergency appointment with him yesterday to diplomatically ask him to recheck whole thyroid panel as you all suggested. That is when he found the 2 year old results. Had another TSH done yesterday and he is to call me today and let me know what to take and how much.

This illness takes so much out of us and yet requires vigilance to ensure that nothing is missed.

It is thanks to your encouragement I have gotten this far. Nancy
