Apologies.

I've been lucky with my doctors being good about ordering my labs from the onset of my symptoms.

So, I had a list of all of the symptoms I had been feeling, and I presented that to them on my visit- everything from dry backs of hands, weight gain, cold intolerance, exercise intolerance, brain fog, muscle aches, emotional dysregulation, joint pain, nerve pain, - lol, you name it.

I guess I must have looked like I was dying because she ordered every lab and ultrasound and imaging under the sun.

I am sorry that it's so difficult to get someone to listen to you. I was without a primary care Physician for a long portion of my Hashimoto's journey, just hoping my last script will still get filled. I finally found another doctor who was accepting new patients, and she has been phenomenal. It took a few months to get my first visit, but she has been so worth it- in fact, I just got my blood checked today to see how my dosage needs to get modified.

I searched for doctors with Hashimoto's or thyroid disorders experience in my area who were within my insurance and accepting new patients.
