- Re: Going crazy...please share your experiences

[Guest guest]

,

If I were you I would ask for an ultra sound. It might help if they

find something and if they didn't you could maybe ask about other

things. This is just a suggestion but for years they check my TSH

levels and they were always normal although my blood pressure and my

body temp were always low and I had put on alot of weight not once

did one of them suggest a ultersound until I changed GPs and I

thought she was kidding . I had lived with the fatigue and horse

voice and weight gain and low body fuctions so long I thought she was

over reacting so sure as a matter of fact I jumped up and said you

didn't find anything did you and the girl said UH Yea that was the

first time mind you that anyone had taken it that far . So it never

hurts to go that extra step . Because they did find cancer in that

little bitty spot on my right side of my thyroid .Thats my oppionian

(sp) it and 1.19 will buy you a Pepsi where I live .LOLOLOL
