Guest guest Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 Dearest Friends: This is an update on our visit with our doctor and his cohorts yesterday. He gave me my B12 shot, and then he told me to stop my synthroid. He showed me the blood work that he had ordered last Saturday. It looks likes I am now Hyperthyroid, instead of being Hypothyroid. Has this happened to any of you? He has ordered more blood work to be done in two weeks...including the SPEP( Serum Protein Electrophoresis) and the UPEP ( Urine Protein Electrophoresis). I had 5 doctors, including my doctor from Cross Cancer, yesterday, and I asked the new doctors why my tongue burns most all of the time. Not one could answer my question, and they did not know what MGUS meant. My doctor was disappointed in them, because they are doctors. I had to explain what it meant, and that in my case MGUS was caused by my silicone breast implants. They will be doing some research this week, and had better be able to answer my questions next Saturday.

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 Lea, Yes, I've gone into what seems nearly hyper ranges on my Armour thyroid meds, but since I prefer my TSH range to be as close to zero as I can get it, because that is where I feel best. I don't worry about it the numbers too much. Did your doctors tell you what your TSH was? Many doctors don't dose by how the patient feels. How do you feel at your current thyroid dose? What I've learned from the doctor interviews in Suzanne Somers books is that to feel good, you want your hormones to be in OPTIMAL ranges, not just mid range normal. That means at the high end, not the low to middle range, but doctors who are ordinary and uninformed won't recognize this, and not dose properly. I have to wonder how hyper you are?

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Rogene: Honey, we hope that your radiation is over. I sure miss you, but I understand that you must take some time to heal. Thank you for your concerns regarding my doctors. I think that they are being monitored by the other powerful doctors. I do see the orthopedic surgeon on November 3, and she will book my knee surgery then. The mammogram and ultrasound will be done this coming Friday, this could lead to an MRI. We still have not sold our other home, and this is causing some stress. It had better sell before the snow comes, because would hate to have to go over there and shovel the snow. This townhouse is lovely and quiet, but it is a bit small. We will do some renovating when the other home is sold....at least we have a fireplace for winter. Take care dear one...love you........Lea ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`` Re: Lea's medical update: Oh Lea,I had hoped they would schedule you for surgery on your leg at least! . . . as well as order an MRI (instead of a mammogram) of your breast.I don't understand what goes on with your doctors.Please don't let them off the hook!Love,Rogene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
