Finally Over!!

Well I made it through the wedding with all smiles. Leading up to it was oh so eventful, but I wont bore you with that. What I will bore you with, is what I find so many on here saying, and that is a Rheumy with no heart! Come on now, why are these guys even in business. I went for my check up with my Rheumy, i have a horrible rash, i asked him about it and he said are you taking pain pills, i said yes, he said that is what it is from. Come on , really now, all that with out even looking at it, I am in the WRONG field that is for sure!!! Then I asked about my test results. He got smart, and said, you dont have this you dont have that, i said listen, this is the first time, i have seen you since the tests were done, i would like the results, better yet, i would like a copy of them. Needless to say I wont be going back to him. But when i looked at my test results, i saw that my tsh for my thyroid is barely registering, it is suppose to be atleast .45 and i was at .01. NOW that is not normal, and he said all tests were normal. I will be following up with my regular dr to manage me until i can find a GOOD rheumy. Questions I have though are, does methotrexate effect the thyroid? If you already have a thyroid problem etc? That is all that i am on right now besides the pain pills and folic acid. I do take thyroid replacement as I had radioactive treatment when i was a child. anywho, wondering how all this plays with each other.

Thanks
