I went for my yearly women's health check up today and I also fasted so I could get my cholesterol checked out. I am still having thyroid troubles and now they are testing me for diabetes. I will have results back on Monday from the lab. Depending on my thyroid labs, the doctor may want to do surgery to remove my thyroid or start radioactive iodine therapy. I don't know too much about it, but it sure doesn't sound too fun to me. The last thing I want is to have surgery though. But I will let my doctor decide on what is best for me in the long run. I've had a substantial weight gain over the past year and a half and it's not all due to quitting smoking. I honestly believe there are underlying problems that are helping me to gain weight. So, hopefully we'll get to the bottom of all of this real soon.

Otherwise, I'm trying to keep my stress levels down as best I can. My blood pressure was perfect, so that's a good sign I guess!

Have a great weekend everyone.....

Hugs,

Mindy, my hubby's niece by marriage had to have both her thyroid glands removed due to pregnancy....she did just great..I think they have her on somekind of artifical thyroid. She has 3 boys and is doing great!
Hopefully, he will be able to do the least invasive treatment.
Please keep us posted.

Like everyone else, Mindy,I'm praying for great test results. In many cases, doctors are so worried about malpractice that they overprescribe testing. Hope that the case with you.
