graves Disease

[Juan]

Hi Spice!

I am glad you are able to hold off on the OP for some time! That is excellent news!

The specialist basically put me on medication and told me to see him again in 6 weeks time. He was a nice guy but I felt a bit rushed and pushed out the door- he didn't even take a blood test or check my pulse- is this normal??

The most important thing he told me is that I have to wait at least 12 months before I can have a baby (booo!). I also mentioned to him that i haven't had a period in about 3 months but he said it was unrelated to the Graves- I have read on the net that it IS also a symptom- have you experienced this?

Oh, and Juan, there is no reason you have to wait the six weeks... If you need to, make another appt for as soon as you can. It may reinforce to him your need for an answer... Or,l just do what I did to start with, Ring up in tears and insist something be done by yesterday! His job is to make you well, that is what you pay him for. Get your money's worth!!!
