Had sleep problems several summers ago and thought I was loosong it big time. Was due for the anual Thyroid test to renew prescription. Same time was emailing with one of my Aunts. Turned out the dose of the Thyroid med was way off and my aunto was the one who cued mr as it is one of the first things anyone should look for when having sleep issues. The problem was getting the nurse practictioner to hear me. Her report was I needed to make life style changes to address my wieght gain and take sleeping pills to sleep. When I got the test results and had to argue how far off base she was, I finally yelled into the phone to receptionist who also wsn't listening to deliver this message to the doctor who was too busy to take a call or see me. ' Tell her my life style change is going to be to find a new doctor after I go to the head of the clinic with the lab results and their disagnosis of irresponsably treating a symptom rather then the cause.' Funny- they finally heard me.
