Sorry to post a dKos diary about this, but I'm at a loss. Yesterday, I took my daily medicine (I'm hypothyroid), but the pill didn't go down! I know this sounds pathetic, but the pill has been lodged in my throat for two days now, and it's not moving in either direction. I can still eat, drink, and breathe normally, but it's quite uncomfortable.
The problem is this: I'm in Washington DC for a brief stint, and I don't have a doctor here. The few I got from my health insurance provider aren't returning my calls. So two things:
- If you have advice as to how to get this thing out, please tell me.
- If you know/are a doctor in DC that I can visit without too much hassle, that would be great. I can make a claim to my insurance provider.
Again, I'm sorry to post about this, but I'm at work downtown with no idea what to do.
