Thanks for asking Aggie! haven't spoken to him for a few days, but apparently the UL showed a swollen thyroid gland, so then it was off for a CT scan. Macho or no, he was intensely relieved that something was measureably "wrong". He's a little better, capable of going to work for a full week but no exercise.

I sent him a couple of links to the thyroid discussions here, and he'll ask his dr to make sure he's checked for mono. Don't know exactly what happens now, but at least he's getting it checked out!
