I scheduled a physical with my doctor in May and she noticed my thyroid seemed large. After she mentioned it, I noticed in the mirror, she was right. Nobody had ever pointed that out to me before. The doctor had me do some blood work along with an ultrasound. Sure enough my thyroid was enlarged and my numbers were elevated. I was very dissapointed with my doctor. She never explained anything after all the test and I never saw her again. She just prescribed me medication and I did some research on the internet. I discovered I would take the meds for the rest of my life. I have a condition called Hypothyroidism. I wonder if it was a result of me being on an estradiol patch. I remembered that my Aunt Alice had hers removed many years ago. I never talked to her about it or asked her any questions. I guess it could have been worse and I hope it won't create more problems.
