> Went to the endocrinologist yesterday and he concurred with your advice Mitch. He suggested we rule out anything medical and go from there. He said my thryoid was enlarged and ordered the standard blood tests so now i will wait and see. He also said that the dose of synthroid my pdoc had me on was not at a therapeutic level. I should have gone to med school. Thanks again Mitch, you are a gem.
Thanks, Let us know what the results are of your tests! Geez, I hope that you have nothing more to do than to take an appropriate dosage of thyroid hormone supplementation to shrink your thyroid and get your TSH back into a decent range. Uggh-I wouldn't want to have to go through surgery again.... Even an overnight observational stay in the hospital sucks. I think you may be on a good track and simply an adjustment of medication is all you need!
