Oh yeah, after the tech blew out my vein, she came back with a butterfly. I can actually handle something a bit larger than a butterfly, but the first needle was enormous - I remember thinking that when she came at me with it.
The Red Cross won't even bother to try taking blood from me because my veins are so tiny and the needles they have to use are so big. When I was first diagnosed, I had to get blood drawn every 6-8 weeks for over a year until the proper dosage of thyroid meds could be determined. Still, it's a small price to pay in exchange for relieving my worst symptoms (the joint pain, migraines, anomia and chronic fatigue were the worst).
I realise this post is a little old, but I would really like to make sure that the thyroid problem is going to be fixed safely. I am a true believer in natural
treatment Moderator cut: no ads
BUT if it is at a point where natural treatment will not be enough, then you could die. I realise you have been told this, but please can you let us know what you have decided to do and what the outcome is?
Thanks
Mia

I have had more than one person suggest that I might need to have my thyroid checked to see if it is functioning properly.
I have never had this done before and I would like to know what it entails before going to the expense of seeing a doctor. I am not interested in any testing that involves needles.
Can anyone who has had this done, please tell me what the procedure is?
Thanks

You're going to need a blood test. How else could your thyroid function be tested. Its just a needle it will hurt for a split second and then its over and done with.
No, I do not. I do not allow anything invasive to be done to my body. It looks like I am just going to try a kelp supplement and see if that is helpful.
Thanks to all for your replies.

How is a blood test invasive. They are not cutting you open or injecting you with anything they are taking a little blood that is all.

I am worried...what was the outcome?
