Goiter Update
So Amanda went to the student health center yesterday. She said the nurse was really nice but there wasn't much they could do. The doctor is only there on Fridays, so they made an appointment for her for this morning.
I called her an hour ago and she sounded like a completely different person -- all cheery and excited. She said the doctor was super nice; he sat her down and drew pictures to help explain what was happening to her thyroid and then he wrote her a new prescription. He also recommended a doctor at the free clinic, so Amanda will have someone to ask for when she goes to her appointment on the 13th.
It's such a relief.
Now I have to go take a biology lab test.

It gets better! I was diagnosed with a hyperthyroid a couple of years ago. The opposite of your sis but I know what a pain in the ass it can be. I had to take meds that slowed my metabolism and all I wanted to do was sleep all the time. Now, I'm off the meds and feeling great. Tell your sis to hang in there.
And seriously, her endocrinologist should be reported.
Cheers for Amanda...
Hope she gets well soon!!
