I’m a little upset that my doctors have never mentioned it. I’m a little upset I had to happen upon this information on the internet. You’d think this sort of data would be pertinent enough to be conveyed immediately, from physician to thyroid patient. Unfortunately, things just don’t work like that. , And [...]
