I used to have them do it twice a year, but was kinda overkill. However, if this is not getting better in a few weeks on this new shit. I will go back in and have them do a blood test. I do not care about the cost. It's better to pay for it now, then to be dead or get some, "wish we would have caught it sooner" speech..

I have a blood test done once a year too with my physical. When I first was sick my doctor said that the blood test would check my thyroid. Turns out that they did not check my thyroid. So I am going to see a specialist. Nothing wrong with being careful. More people need to get checked once a year at least.
