I will clarify a little bit…the endo said, based on what he could feel, that my thyroid was twice normal size but it was uniform and could feel no nodules. As far as I can tell, my family has no history of autoimmune diseases. I probably should ask for a scan, but I have decided to find another doctor so must do that first. There is a lot to be said for having an assoc. professor at a big medical school as your doctor – good reputation, knowledgeable, etc… But there are also too many hassles – parking, competing with his “academic obligations” and other patients for appts, and his bedside manner is just a little too “uppity” for me.
