Sorry to read this Indy, I know it's been a long road for you. For me it was a great relief after my surgical thyroid removal, but my situation was far more advanced. I had the bulging eyes, among other things, and that went away after the surgery. I've been told one still actually does protrude a tiny amount but no one can tell without special tools.

I know you won't let her rush you into something you aren't comfortable with and you will tell her your concerns. Hang in there and I hope you are able to get this under control soon regardless of the method.
