Dear Bruce,
A bit of reassurance for you. I had the tear duct implant plugs done in 1991 0r 2 because of dry eyes after radial keratotomy. She did it in her office, put collagen plugs in for a week ( they dissolve in a week)to see if they would work for me, and then when they worked, put in the “permanent” ones of silicon. I have been very happy with them, and the best of all, you will appreciate this, they don’t do blood work on you to do it. I am pretty tired of needles these days. Allergic to them, you know

Hi Bruce: Thanks for writing and for the information about the tests. Please read my message to Jeannette and let me know how the endo determines graves vs thyroiditis??
It seems that I should know more about this stuff after all the reading I have done, but the more I read the more questions I seem to have.

PS – The “deserts” of California sounds appealing right now after all the cold weather we have been having in New Mexico – You apparently moved from Albuquerque to California, and I moved from California to New Mexico. Guess we were trying to keep the “balance” in population.
