There was no lump to feel when I had cancer. I had no symptoms of hyperthyroidism but if left untreated it could cause dangerous arrhythmias of the heart.
Only the nice tech who is wonderfully non hurtful at taking blood at the Quest lab can send your doctor the results of the blood tests that to my eye only look dark red.
I thought I knew my body pretty well, but it wasn't telling ME what the experts knew how to find out.
If you decide you don't want a colonoscopy then you have to live with the lack of knowledge about your innards.
I question my doctor, and sometimes I doubt him, but he is better at what he does than I am in figuring out what is happening.
But oh how I miss my doctors from Ohio.
