Doctor was very good.
Indeed kind and informative. She was young which is a bonus because she wasn't about dismissing me AND she wanted to reach out to both my osteopath and my endocrinologist and discuss things with them.
She doesn't think the positive ANA is rheumatological but she does think its related to my thyroid and want to proceed with that given all my symptoms including pain, extreme fatigue, even the slow transit and GI issues.

She also addressed my neck and shoulder issues that I have been having OMT work on (which isn't working) and she wants to give me steroid injections to see if that helps me regain movement.
All of the EPIC doctors that I found in the past 3 years have all been YOUNG and FEMALE. This woman is also. Open, direct, INFORMATIVE ... she answered all of my questions (I ask a lot of questions), she was impressed - not angry, not intimidated, not annoyed - by the vast amount of data and knowledge I have on my own body, symptoms, and issues. She wasn't disrespectful towards me. She LISTENED, she asked me questions and WAITED to hear the ENTIRE answer before talking. It was a whole miracle.
A doctor who listens and doesn't rush you... and maybe even asks further questions... is practically a miracle.
@mistressticia @tyghebright same. Most doctors I have seen HATE that I know so much. It really just pisses them off. It's like they're insulted that you don't hang on their every word or need them for everything which I would think would be a GOOD THING???? 🤣
@thewebrecluse Right? My doctor actually appreciates it. Makes her job easier. Sounds like this doc might be the same way. Wish you lots of positive with this leg of your journey! 🖤 @tyghebright
@thewebrecluse That is so awesome!! Most aren't in tune with their bodies. I always tell my doctor I only see her for a 2nd opinion. And also in case I need any conventional medicine to treat it. 😉
