What's Up Doc?
Well, I went to the doctor again today. I actually saw Dr. A instead of his PA. I got to go down the list of stupid things that are wrong with me (and thanks for that morale booster!) and he asked a few questions and took about a million notes. (He's very thorough.)
Now I am on a thyroid supplement. My apparent diagnosis is Hashimoto's thyroiditis. I take this thyroid med in the am. I start with 30 mg for 3 days, bump up to 60 mg for three days, bump up another 30mg, repeat until my pulse gets too high. Then I scale back until I get to the right dosage. The meds have to come from a compound pharmacy, so they won't be here until next week. My insurance didn't cover them, but it was only $70, which is do-able. Next month they should come from my regular pharmacy and can be billed to my insurance then. (I guess there is a shortage, which is why it can only come from certain pharmacies right now.)
And that is the medical situation for another day.
