LPT: Always review your own medical records especially with the VA

For years I've been complaining about certain ailments and have been told labs look good, nothing abnormal and I've been just absolutely miserable and suffering and thinking is that it for life? Started going thru my labs, turns out my thyroid had been out of range for a decade and several out of range for at least 5 years among a bunch of other technical labs I'm not familiar with that all continue directly to my complaints. Angry is an understatement. Their laziness and incompetence has taken YEARS away from me life. Almost all of my 30s. And I was constantly l directed to talk therapy. I kept ringing the alarm and no one would listen and here it is. It's not all in my head after all.
