I'd been feeling off for months,...
I'd been feeling off for months, tired all the time with weird aches. A couple of other doctors just shrugged. Dr. Shrivarthan was different. He actually listened, asked a ton of questions I hadn't thought about, and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was a thyroid issue that wasn't showing up on the standard panel. He explained it all in a way that finally made sense. I'm on treatment now and starting to feel like myself again.
