NEWBIEQ--questioning one's endo

[Guest guest]

Dear Granny et al.

In my haste I implied I'd let my endo chart my course. Quite the contrary, I

hope to keep a really informed hand in it. Elaine's book has been a godsend, not

to mention all the good advice here.

I'm lucky in that my endo seems to be a terrific dr--good listener, interest in

my overall health, vigilant blood testing and asking me to call her if my

symptoms change. Plus she seems to be knowledgeable about Graves. Hopefully by

the time my blood levels start looking right, I'll have found the time to get

educated about this. (Clearly doctors differ. Another nice woman MD in this

practice had Graves herself and assured me that as soon as I got my thinking

straight I would do what she did and have the " radioactive treatment " !)

What would do without the Internet to let us share info etc. like this?

Best wishes,
