It is probably so routine to the doctors to see patients with floaters, etc. that they don't see it as an emergency as the patients do. What I heard him say was "Take two aspirins and get plenty of rest". lol Frustrating!

I just had a TSH test about a month ago. It was at a very good number. I go to a GP for this. Was going to an endocrinologist a few years back. My GP never checks anything other than the TSH. I really need to be more aggressive about my hypo-T and find someone who really understands how to treat it.
I didn't realize that thyroid levels can affect one's vision. I know if I approach my doctor with this kind of question, he would look like a deer in headlights. lol
Why is it that thyroid issues are so misunderstood!!!
Thanks for the tip about this. I'm going to do more research.
