My doctor who thinks that patients are constantly imagining that the have issues they don't and especially is vehemently against people trying to treat thyroid issues without their doctor's permission when their doctor refuses to treat them and has been refusing to allow me to go back on my thyroid supplements because my numbers are "normal": "Wow!! You're so much healthier than the last time I saw you! Your weight is more normal, your heart and lungs both sound great! Your blood pressure and heart rate are improved. Your energy is better. Almost every issue has improved! What do you attribute this change to??"

Me, who went back on my thyroid supplements without her permission a month ago: "gosh I guess my hysterectomy just evened out my hormones more than I expected!"

#she was like 'oh you must have finally changed your diet!'#'no. my diet doesn't affect my weight nor does my level of exercise. I used to walk 5 miles a day when I was at my heaviest'#'i have endocrine issues. Things like my weight are symptoms of that. only treating those endocrine issues will improve them'#then we talked about disability and she said her neighbor didn't deserve to be on it #because 'he mows his lawn sometimes'#she's leaving the office I go to so I'm getting a new doctor anyway
