Dear Julie,
Know exactly how you feel. After so many years of having my symptoms
brushed off as nothing, I too want to blame every ache and pain on
Graves. I feel also that doctors may think me something of a hypochondiac,
which causes me not to want to discuss my symptoms.
Too often I notice M.D.’s eyes glaze over when they are no longer
paying attention to what I’m saying, then they just kinda act patronizing.
