Had an appointment with my endo today. Since all my bloodwork looked good, we had some time to chat. I asked how many TS patients he had, as my therapist said he was the go-to guy for many miles. His answer floored me. Town of 118,000 people, 25,000 of which are university students. His answer- over 100. Plus, the U students use their in house health center, so he suspects as many again using that facility. He also said the number has mushroomed. Ten years ago he had one TS patient. These numbers are skewed slightly because he deals with TS from many surrounding communities. Still, it's a lot!
Every time I go to see him there's at least one TS in his waiting room. Nice girls too.
