U.S. doctor tomorrow continued

I went to the doctor. It didn't go good. Falling in Reverse was so kind to give me a list of things I needed tested but the doctor wouldn't test not one of them except for the thyroid panel. Which is of course TSH, T3 T4. She said I could pay for it myself. I told her I don't have any money. She told me that she'd lose her license if she tested something that I didn't need tested? Was she lying? Was she rude yeah we were both trying to be cordial but we don't like each other haha. So what are you going to do if my TSH is suppressed but the other numbers are in the right spot oh then I'll go by there symptoms. I went to the blood place and they wouldn't let me add on the list that Falling in Reverse gave me they said a doctor has to order it. I wanted to see how much it would be. I've decided I'm never going back there again. And I'm not getting my blood tested I went without thyroid medicine for two days I looked so bad. My friend said you look so tired why don't you take a day off. I wasn't getting along with people who got on my nerves either. Anyway I love all of you thank you for the people who answered my post! I really truly appreciate you! EasyOh and when I was leaving I asked her well will you think about it adding those things to my blood test and she said I don't want to talk about it! She said to me when I was leaving oh well if you get your blood tested at least you'll know your kidneys and your liver are going well.

My argument with her was I'm 64 years old and I don't know if I have Hashimoto's or regular thyroid disease. And you know what she said? We treat them the same I'm like okay whatever I'm so sick of people I'm sick of waiting for 2 years and getting nothing out of it and Gosh that was a mistake not to take my medicine. I'm not going to do it again. Anyway, sad story right? I guess everybody's got that story unless you got money. Peace be with you.

You never have to go back again. I only see my doctor for coughs and colds. I do my own private blood tests and order my own NDT as it is not available here in the UK

Take care
