+1. The ultrasound will hopefully be informative.
@Blueberry, your doctor sounds utterly frustrating. I'm so glad you're talking to an endo. although from my experience, some are better than others. I'm hopeful that it will be a step in the right direction.
I just made an appointment today with a third (yes, third) endo. I decided that I wasn't going to waste any time with the second one; I doubt that we'll be able to see eye to eye if she just wants me to do RAI. I think I finally found an endo in Indy that actually specialized in thryoid issues. He treats a friend of mine who has been resistent to traditional treatments, including anti-thyroid meds. Now, I don't necessarily have the same resistance, but I am encouraged that he's been willing to work with her and her parameters. That suggests to me that he listens and is receptive to more than one approach. I'm in the process of culling all of my lab results and diagnostics over the last year and a half. My appointment is on January 18th. Fingers are crossed.
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
