Valarie, I am so glad you responded, I was beginning to think no one would respond!! But you’re right most people are at the conference. After reading all the horrible things on here and other sites I have visited, I was really really feeling down. But it makes sense when you mentioned it is the people who are having difficulties that post or blog whereas the ones who are doing fine are not online talking about it. My first visit with my endo was such a blur to me. You see I was on vacation in FL almost a month ago, jumped in the pool when my heart went "crazy" and was rushed to a cardiac hospital. They had to reset my heart in the ambulance and in the hospital run ultrasounds of my heart and thyroid, many blood tests, and I was in there for 4 days. The day I flew home I went right to the endo. She seemed really great and caring. I rarely get sick even colds, so this was a major shock to me. I am taking propranolol and methimazole as well as aspirin for my blood and some anxiety medicine. I am so curious to see how the meds are working. Anyways it is so good to have a site like this where people can relate and share stories. I will definitely check out the book list, as I am really into researching things so I will be better informed. Thank you so much for responding and I will post other info as needed.
