In Which I Add Another Doctor To the List

(August 18, 2008)

Today I saw Dr. C, my thyroid doctor. She was very sympathetic about my Saga Of Finding A Good Rheumatologist. While she was going through the checklist of things to ask me, I told her about my constant nausea in the mornings. (I quit trying to eat breakfast years and years ago, because it made me sick feeling and miserable. I can still manage to eat before eleven o'clock if I need to (i.e. at camp or before an important test) but most of the times that is Not A Good Idea.) I think I've told this to several of my doctors, but this time she stopped and frowned at me. I've now been recommended to see a tummy doctor next week. That's--what?--5 doctors now? Rheumatologist, heart doctor, thyroid doctor, normal doctor, eye doctor, tummy doctor. Six doctors! Score! Erm... or something.

Otherwise the appointment went fine, and everything seems to be okay from the thyroid point of view.
