No, I haven't had a doppler or ultrasound or anything like that done. It sounds like a good idea, though. My thyroid has never been swollen (that you can see). Because I look healthy, I must be healthy. <-insert sarcasm here.

I'm dropping my daughter off at a friend's house while I go to my appointment. When I have to bring her along, she and the doctor spend half of my 20 minutes chatting, and I want him all to myself. (He's her doctor too, but this is my appointment.) No distractions.

My husband is telling me to chill... my doctor has been very good, and he listens, but I've had so many horrible doctors that I automatically stress.

Will ask about the doppler, too, and I'm taking my past tests with the wacky TSH levels.

When I get dressed for my appointment, I'm going to play that music from Lord of the Rings at the part where Aragorn suits up for the Battle of Helm's Deep.
