Hello all,
I've been reading some but not posting in reply to others as much as I ought. School stuff is making me busy right now, and I'm spending much too much time concerned about my health. Tomorrow I'm going to go to a local support group to get some advice.
The doctors at school scare me. They seem to think that sublicinical hypothyroidism is a TSH only just below 10. Otherwise, I'm anemic or hypoglycemic. Hello; don'tt you know those can be related. Buying some insurance outside of school is proving difficult. In Massachusetts Blue Cross Blue Shield, as a non-profit, is required to take all comers at some rate.
Unfortunately, because I do have some limited insurance through school, I can't go get MediCal. I want to find a doctor I can trust. Luckily there's a very nice woman at church who has years of experience suffering herself; there's also an Englishman who is a psychiatrist in local practice. So, if I get really desperate I'll ask his advice on whom to see.
