Guest guest Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 Hi, my name is . I am a new member and very, very new to understanding my thyroid. 3 weeks ago I did not even know what my thyroid did! I went to a vascular surgeon about vericose veins. While going thru my medical history, he asked how long I had had my goiter. I did not even know what a goiter was. I went to my PCP and he ordered blood tests and a sono. The blood test came back with " very little thyroid function " (I do not have exact numbers) and I am expecting the sono results on Monday. In the little research that I have done, I realize that I am very overwhelmed of what I need to know. I would LOVE to hear advice from others to help me from making any mistakes. When do you use an endocrinologist vs. primary care dr? What questions do I need to ask? What tests do I have to have? Please feel free to help!!! Thanks! PS...I live in the Flower Mound area. I have been very lucky to moved to a very involved neighborhood that sent me to this group (thank you Penny!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 Newbie popping in here. I have an appt with on Tuesday. When I told my primary doc who I was going to see, he was very happy and sang high praises for Dr. . My primary is Dr. Craig Henry in Arlington by the way.

Family Doc had me do a thyroid sonogram and they found several large nodules and small ones too numerous to count. Makes me feel great knowing that. Set up an appointment with an endo/Doc in a week and half. Has any one heard of dr. johnson in grand prairie off of oslo dr.? My family Doc took off for vacation and did not explain anything. Great to be able to read everyones ideas. Barb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
