...since always. Then yesterday Dr. Felipe called me and asked me to take more blood so he could repeat the exams. I got so scared when he said it I thought something got really wrong like OMGYOUHAVEAIDS but he said it's just because the nurse who collected my blood didn't take enough of it. I'm relieved. I did thyroid ultrasound too. ---------------------------------------------- . .

...color? enter your user name and hit the button. ( discussion thread ) Turns out that one of the ladies at work who I get on really well with used to have an overactive thyroid but now has an underactive thyroid since she had her thyroid removed. It is nice to talk to someone about it. Not that it's the worst thing ever to go through, because it's not - there are much...

...Mom" and that Ihave "always been heavy, I know.." "That's my fault, too?" But she said it jokingly/sarcastically. She knows I'm prone to starving more b/c of being older and having a history of thyroid fuckery (HaHA!! Lookit, September, my birth month is also the month for thyroid cancer awareness). It's like even if I just eat a bit it seems to not go away that's why I try to stay constantly...

Unfortunately, it looks like I may not be having the surgery. So all of that crap from yesterday was probably for nothing. Why, you ask? Well, they did my thyroid labs. And I went to do my evaluation today and I heard the horrific news. Thumbelina, my fat whore of a thyroid, has passed away. An evil dude named Hashimoto has killed her. This is a thyroid: A thyroid is a gland that is part...

...something much bigger.  As I mentioned yesterday, I've been extremely stressed and 'bitchy' with my coworkers lately.  Maybe the stress and the lump are connected somehow.  I came to work and googled thyroid conditions.  I got a lot more than I bargained for when I read through the symptoms checklist.  There are about 55 symptoms for Hypothyroidism listed on the checklist.  Of those 55, I have 12. ...

...a mammogram thanks to the ladies being affected adversely (yay virus and not some boob gone amuck for other reasons though), and more blood tests.  Well the mammogram came back fine but apparently my thyroid is off.  Like they want to put me on medicine for hypo, slow, thyroid off. Part of me is taking all the news in.  On the one hand it totally caught me off guard as we have checked my TSH for...

Hi there, This is my situation: I have a nodule of approx. 12mm in my left thyroid, that hasn't gown significantly since it was detected in February. The doctors want to remove the thyroid completely, but they will know if it's benign or malign only after removal. And they say that if it were benign and there were a method to know that before surgery, they wouldn't remove it. And the chances that...

hah, so alot has happened in the past two months. for one thing, at the end of my sophomore year, i got an alcohol citation. me and three other friends, amber pherigo, ian fetterolf, ben deloso, and matt...samples to see if i do have it. i get the results in about three days. so school starts the day after tommorow. i'm so excited. i can't wait to see my friends. and ohh ya, amber pherigo got sent away :

...to swallow, I am hella moody and weepy, a.k.a. HASHI'S FLARE-UP??! Either it's a terrible coincidence or these antibiotics are interacting poorly with my Synthroid. Maybe I'll ask the ladies on thyroid later. Have also confirmed that black tea officially has too much caffeine for me. I felt disgusting all day after one cup. The nice coffee lady even sweetened it with honey for me, and by...

It's about freaking time, too! Turns out I have an under-active thyroid and will be going on medication for it as soon as my pharmacy lets me know the prescription has been filled. Hopefully soon I will start to feel better and actually come out of my cave and be social.
