  1. Have you noticed any changes in the size of your thyroid (goiter)?

  2. honestly, no. Thank goodness! prior to last year i saw an MD only when i was running out of refills so maybe 2xs per year. they always checked but honestly i saw them so infrequently that i cant blame them if they did not keep track. However last year when i began this process to lose weight (and because i needed a new MD to prescribe my meds) we picked a doctors office that specialized in internal medicine and weight loss (via HCG and other procedures). I saw a nurse weekly and the MD every other month. So i can honestly say that he kept tabs on it regularly and never made a comment to me.
