I WAS RIGHT!!!

So I was having a real hard time losing weight that I gained rapidly. I knew that I had a healthy lifestyle. I knew that I was not doing whatever caused me to gain 75 pounds. Every time I went to the doctor they would say that maybe I'm just big. But I knew something was wrong. I know my body, I know myself. This past year I wound up out of work and without insurance. I got medicaid a while back and was able to have a physical. This new doctor was really new, just finished his residency. So I guess he was more interested. He was concerned about my headaches, so he started seeing me regularly. I kept saying the same thing I told my other doctors. I described how I suddenly gained weight and how everything else followed. I said it has to be my hormones. He told me the same thing they did, my blood work is fine. I did some research and went in there and said "I want my thydoid checked again and I want......(listed some things I found on some medical websites)"...and he said fine to humor me.

He just called and I was RIGHT!! :noway: My cortisol levels are low enough that he is agreeing now that I should see an endochrinogist. Like I was asking from the beginning. Anyways, what I just learned...When you have a gut feeling, don't let anybody tell you you are wrong. I could care less how many years a doctor studies, nobody knows my body better than me.:drinker:

Good for you! That is really great to finally have a diagnosis. And you are right...you are the one who knows YOUR body best. I watch a show called Mystery Diagnosis and seriously its amazing what these people go through before the find out what the problem is. Good for you. Always go with your gut. It won't let you down.
