[redacted] I was delighted to see him again. I appreciate his clear explanation that taking the correct medication dose is important and that self-adjustihg it could affect my bone and heart health in the long-term. I still hope there may eventually be a treatment or adjustment that can help improve my symptoms of feeling cold and tired. I trust Dr. Alexander's recommendations and I will follow his instructions until my next visit.
