I had a very encouraging and hopeful meeting with my doctor today. (And an encouraging but possibly not quite on-target voicemail message from my hematologist this morning.) The short version is that I have a couple of endocrine problems, and it’s very likely that treating one or both of them will make a big difference. If I get a chance later tonight (I just got back to work after the appointment) I’ll probably post more details (probably in a locked post, which is a sneaky and underhanded way of encouraging my parents to get LJ accounts :-). [EDIT: It worked!]

(In other news, it is a marvellously sunny day here in Boston, so I was happy for the opportunity to go for a walk in the middle of the day — my PCP is walking distance from work.)

Yay!

That is so awesome.

Yay! Sounds like they think they can fix you! And something for which you can just take pills is vastly preferable to problems requiring more serious intervention.

So, you keep teasing us with the promise of a post with more information. Just in case you wanted encouragement to make such a post, consider yourself encouraged! :-)

I hope they'll have you feeling better soon!
