the dr. called today and told me my thyroid results showed that the levels were high. i think it is called "hyperthyroid". he asked if i ever feel "jittery" or sleepless. i said that i am normally bogged down, tired, and fatigued.
weird.
he suggested i see a specialist to see if treatment is needed. he said it isn't "really high" but it is elevated, which explains the swelling. He will be calling me on monday to recommend a specialist. he said that serious treatment is most likely not needed.
i will let you know how my next appointment goes  |
Good Luck. Let us know.... I actually got an at home/mail in test recently to test mine. I lost my family doctor and have never found a new one yet, so I thought this might prompt me to do so. I haven't done it yet. I told my hubby I wanted him to prick me. I doubt he will. Thyroid problems do run in my family, so I guess there's a chance mine could be off too. I've got all the symptoms of they hypo variety.
