Thanks everyone! Hugs back to each and every one of you with your struggles as well. I do count my blessings as I know it could be much worse.

Sarah, I've had the FNA done twice already so I know it stinks, but if I do the RAI-U and it says they're cold nodules, they still have to do it, so why not cut to the chase?

Cusepack, I was on PTU for 4 months and 12.5 mg brought it under control. I've been off of meds for 3 months now so I don't mind taking labs every 6-8 weeks to monitor. To me that's still better than the possible side effects of RAI-U, but's that's just my take on it. I'm a single mom and I refuse to expose my 4 yo to any radiation!

Diggles, thanks for the chuckle - I needed it.

I will be volunteering at the 24 hour mtb race. I know I will have mixed feelings being there and not riding but I'm trying to get some other people to volunteer as well so we can have our own little "party" (especially since it's my bday weekend). I've also decided I will try to start running again - maybe it's a sign to do more cross-training on my part. I know my dogs will appreciate the extra attention, and since my little guy isn't interested in riding, I will just go with the flow.

Thanks again for all your support! I will keep you posted on both the wrist and the thyroid. You gals ROCK!!
