I got my lab results today and for all intents and purposes, I have no thyroid left. I indeed had a thyroid storm last month, which is what I tried to tell the endo. over and over and they all just blew me off. The NP is just livid and thinks if I had waited to be retested for 3 more weeks like they wanted to, I'd be in a life-threatening situation with my thyroid.
I restarted the Synthroid today and she is looking for a new endo. for me (although she said none of them in this area is person-centered). She said I'd still feel bad for a while to come, but that she hopes it helps to know that I'm not crazy and that help is on the way.
I've cried most of the afternoon. Something about being blown off and made to feel crazy when I'm telling the truth, whether it's about abuse or my symptoms, just sets me off. I'm not a liar and I don't make excuses for myself. And yet the doc and my best friend think that.
