the 'thyroid' scale, and now finding that I've the Hashi's, I find myself really relieved! I just kick myself that my docs didn't catch it sooner, as I think they should have. I don't think it changes my meds, suppelements and what all much other than the calciums and D's and magnesiums [Thank you Mrs D and Rose!] But once you get on the right meds for YOU, I expect to see some bits of your life better!
That you don't have Cancers as well is, in my book, an absolute BONUS!
As for finding a good endo? That's a hard one...sometimes it's luck, other times deliberate accident....I simply called all my docs that I'd had at the time [about 8-9?] about my cancer stuff, then did a repeat for the endo. I'd always get 3-5 names and I'd zero in on the ones that had lots of overlap. All the creds were good on all these docs, mind you, but it was the docs who said THEY would 'probably go to' that were the selling points.
Go, and celebrate? Have a barbeque this weekend and laugh with friends and all that stuff. You deserve it! - j
