dahlia_moonSo, it seems as though my thyroid gland is abnormal.
.
.
I don't know really what to make of that because that's all the people at the family center said.
I had another appointment on Tuesday with like a nurse practitioner who my family doctor recommended when I expressed my concern about my period not showing up for like four months. We talked a bit, and she assured me that it was common for me to be irregular, and then she sent Mom and me off to the lab, and they drew some blood.
And today they called and said that we had to go and see the family doctor again so that he can recommend a specialist for me to see about my abnormal thyroid.
Mom thinks that more than likely we'll have to go and see Dr. M again who was a endocrinologist specialist who I saw when I first started having my period when I was eight.
I don't particularly like him; I don't know why, he was very nice and helpful. Maybe I was just weirded out because he was a guy doctor and it felt weird talking about my menstrual cycles with him. Yeah, that's probably it. But I might just have to grin and bear it if we end up having to see him again.

What I always try to do is think that he's probably seen all kinds of weird female stuff, and that my problems probably aren't the worst/weirdest he's seen. *shrugs* Maybe that will work for you?
Either way I hope everything gets sorted out soon *hugs*

Date: 2008-03-20 11:59 pm (UTC)I started developing early, but I actually haven't really started having regular periods until I was eleven because Dr. M had me on these hormone injections for three years that stopped my periods until I was more ready for them because eight is insanely young.
I'll try that to not make it so weird.
