Guest guest Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Got an appointment and am going to try to find the courage to speak up and ask for some tests... I am mainly going to see him for the pain in my joints as I was hoping to get more time to think of what I want to say to him. But the aches and pains are starting to interfere with my job so had to make the appointment sooner. I envision him telling me the NDT is the cause of my pain...or some such nonsense. I plan to start with the pain bit...then tell him I've come off the Thyroxine and started taking NDT for the last three months (have been a bit longer but not much) and would like certain tests to make sure everything is working properly. I will ask for the thyroid ones and see what he says about the vits and mineral ones after I get his reaction. If he won't do the thyroid ones no point in asking about the others I reckon... I will maybe put it in writing and ask them to be added to my notes. That way if he refuses and I end up doing them myself and something is wrong I have proof I asked. Wish me luck anyway..:-) I really hate confrontation...I feel so un-knowledgeable and don't feel like I can refute anything he says. If this appointment ends up being a waste of time I guess it will be time to find a new doc. I really hope he listens. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
