Wow, thanks!

Hey! I am a bit overcome, sitting here with tears in my eyes

after reading the responses to my post earlier today. Thank

you all for CARING! I am sure I will learn much from this

group of kindred spirits. :-)

The lab numbers I typed before were PRE-Synthroid. I will

double-check the numbers and post again tomorrow, since my

lab slip is by my desk at the office. I may have the T3/T4

numbers reversed, who knows!

I had a " free " consult with a patient of my husband's when

she asked how I was one day about a month ago. My husband

said, " Why don't you get 's opinion on your thyroid? "

I felt sort of stupid, but showed her my test results and

she said before having a second u/s biopsy that I should

have more labs run to see how the meds were working. She

is in her mid-70's now and was a well-respected endocrinologist

who retired 5+ years ago. She is the one who suggested that

my TSH number should go down, under 1, after taking the Synthroid.

She advised not to do biopsy #2 before doing more labs. And

the specialist hasn't contacted me to *remind* me I need to get

a biopsy about now, etc. He sure doesn't care, you all are

so right! Why am I so worried about offending him? (By the way,

I got comped my consult with him due to my husband being a doc.

So there's no money involved. Maybe that is why he doesn't CARE???)

LOL! Joining this group is the best thing I've done since I got

diagnosed with the nodule in my thyroid! THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!

Now I just have an emotional lump in my throat! :-)
