You know I really wish doctors were more easy going about doing proper tests and weren't so damn ignorant about it. I asked my doctor today about running a test on my thyroid and he said there was no need for more tests and I shouldn't be concerned with those levels.

So I might have to pay for bloods myself again to get them checked, hopefully this Telemedicine clinic in Canada will do it. Looks like I got some searching around to do.

The thyroid medication is it in pill forms ?

Well if I can manage to get more blood tests done I will be sure to post them.
