Whenever I go to have my blood tested for my thyroid I ask for a full workup. May as well test everything (especially a fasting blood test) at the same time. As long as I have insurance and it pays for it I'm having it done. I'll have it done again in December as my insurance benefits will terminate on 12/31/08 and I'll have to wait until 9/2010 before Medicare kicks in.

I'd rather have a doc who's thorough to the point of being annoying than one who waits till it gets really bad before saying "well, maybe we should have done this or that".
