(Anonymous) 2024-08-05 05:38 am (UTC)(link)Oh huh I've never gotten a post-visit followup letter.
I'm a little scared about the hypothyroidism diagnosis; my mom had it too, and the meds were a pain, but when she was on them the difference was night and day and they really helped.
Oh. My cholesterol is high so I need to eat better and exercise more? Better than 30 years of no meat or alcohol (or any recreational drugs or soda or—) and tons of fruit and veggies and *checks fitness tracker* an average of 7.8 miles of walking/running a day over the past year up from 5 miles/day starting in 2018 and increasing every year since?
But at least the thyroid meds should help lower my cholesterol and blood pressure like it says in the email... ah. You're not prescribing me thyroid meds even though you left in the boilerplate saying that I would feel better 1-2 weeks after starting levothyroxine. Cool. Cool. Because exercise and a better diet will totally fix my wonky thyroid YOU STUPID FUCKER I COULD DROP KICK YOU OUT A WINDOW WITH MY HULK LEG MUSCLES WHAT THE FUCK A BETTER DIET? SHOULD I CHUG A SHOT OF IODINE WITH EVERY MEAL YOU FATPHOBIC BASTARD? I DON'T HAVE IODINE DEFICIENCY HYPOTHYROIDISM IT'S GENETIC YOU ASSHOLE *pant pant pant*
Okay. Deep breath. Hands up if I should screenshot my fitness tracker and send it plus photos of breakfast (yogurt cup, fruit) lunch (salad containing at least 5 servings of leafy veggies if not more, plus bell pepper, cucumber, carrot, a sprinkling of grated cheese, and two kinds of sprouts—alfalfa and sunflower—with tahini lemon dressing and toasted sunflower seeds in an overflowing bowl bigger than my head) and post work-walk (to get my daily total to at least 7 miles) snack—a piece of fruit, plus a (45 calorie) fruit juice popsicle because goddamn this fucking weather sucks.
Hah, you think I eat dinner. That's cute.
*Sigh.* If I can figure out how to start again without pulling or splitting anything maybe it's time to work up from none to 500 crunches/day again. And start lifting weights (aside from 40 lb bags of potting soil and chicken feed and 40 lb boxes of books) so I can deadlift asshole doc and then dropkick him.
Sorry for the triggery diet talk but argh omfg the only people I know personally who get more exercise than me are a) also fat and b) have run many many marathons. My record in one day is 15.6 miles so I assume I could at least walk one. Probably not run, though (stupid fucked up premie baby wet cardboard heart gah.)
I hate this.

(Anonymous) 2024-08-05 07:31 am (UTC)(link)I also get "you are too fat" routine every bloody time but I actually have a pretty shitty diet tbf. I've got prescriptions anyway. But I am not American so I don't know your system that well.
