Another 2 WEEKS WAIT!!!! Fluid off to NYU for documentation ---and another blood test!!! AND depending---what all is said and done--maybe a scan @ MRI??

Appears my T #'s are slightly elevated----and STRESS could be the ONSET of GRAVES!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOO????

Of course she was very kind informing me of all the *could be's* and DONT go into the NET----

naturally I went there immediately cus when she said TOXIC DIFFUSE GOITER I went

nah I really didnt---(almost)

She also wants to make sure that this HOT Nodule is the cause of this OR is there something else going on????
NOT TO WORRY!!!! Ok--will whistle a *happy-tune* dont worry

And ANXIETY issues should be ruled out (which we all know I have)cus symptoms of HYPER are similar to

----

I really like her----she did a good job getting to the larger node, which *doogey howser* couldnt do!!!!
So now I sit and wait---

OH, the best part---my BP reading was 123/65 pulse rate 71
And

I weighed 128 lbs.!!! HUH----I gained 10 pounds just from leaving the house!!!

I wish I could have had a

Looks like you have found a good doc. Re your weight, not too long ago I think one of my legs weighed 128 lbs.

Not any more though & my blood pressure was 120/70 on Friday, the lowest it has ever been I think, except when i had the last colonoscopy when it dropped down to 90 over something.

Twinee2------I think the YOGA might be helping my BP issues----
This is the first time---appearing before any doctor---that I didnt have *white-coat* syndrom where the pressure went Kozoom--

At the GI's , my pressure goes to 150 + and the poor nurse gets so frazzled!!

Bit Lizzie---I weight 118---how could I be 128 @ her office--unless my scale has been LYING to me

Oh who cares~~~~~

Hi again Barb. 'tis my firm belief that the scales in all doctors surgeries lie.

They must be at least 5 lbs over I reckon.
