Thyroid Update — May 2011

I finally had the next appointment with my endocrinologist.  I was supposed to have it in March, but I put it off until hubby’s new job provided health insurance on May 1st, then I had to postpone it again a couple week’s ago because I was too sick to go get blood work in time for the appointment.  Sheesh!

I don’t have my lab results this time…for some reason they didn’t send them to me.  I’ll have to get a copy from the doctor’s office the next time I go.  He did mention that my levels looked good.  My liver profile looked a little high, but he wasn’t concerned based on my age.

I also had an ultrasound and the two nodules are shrinking a little bit!  That’s the first time they’ve changed at all!

Basically, he ended up leaving all my medication the same and told me to come back in September.  Thank goodness the lab sheet will only require 2-3 vials of blood instead of the 9 vials they took this last time!  And no fasting!  Yay!
