mchally - 2009-08-06 12:04 AM I have found some very interesting reading material...the insert that came with my new medication.  Do you know that its empirical formula is C21H21CIN4OS·HCl·H2O


I love reading the packets that come with medication.  It's a little strange that there is Iodine in your medication.

My best buddy did some research for me...there is a possible complication to look out for with this med that strenuous exercise could potentially trigger.  I am going to keep close tabs on how I feel and discuss it with the dr at my next visit.

Work is not too bad.... probably could be doing more but im not feeling it... so hanging on BT and getting caught up around here seems like a good place to start!

Not really.  Yeah for chronic illnesses, I guess.  My thyroid is acting up and not responding well to meds.  My levels are in the normal range, but I still feel terrible and have bad symptoms. Plus, my throat has been swollen and I'm having a hard time swallowing, so my doc is worried.  Getting an ultrasound to check for nodules, tumors, etc. tomorrow. Makes me nervous. My dad just had his thyroid removed due to a tumor that was cancer. 

I'm a little frustrated and worried.

I go for an ultrasound next week on mine....

Are they checking Free or Total values? (Estrogen can bind with T4, so the Total T4 may not show how much is actually available to your body.) Is your Free T3 in the normal range, too? (Mine wasn't until I started T3 replacement.)

How are your Vitamin D levels? And your ferritin? (Both of mine were really low, and I think that also affected how I felt.)

I didn't have trouble swallowing, but it always felt like there was a large lump in my throat. It took 10 years to finally get the meds adjusted properly. (And it doesn't take much to throw them off again.)

Good luck tomorrow! Hope it turns out to be nothing!

My doc has been checking free T3 and T4 every other time I get a blood test.  She's rechecking everything this time (TSH, T3, T4, and antibodies). Also doing a CBC to check all of the other vitamin levels.  I had one in November and everything looked ok, but it can change pretty easily.

The swallowing thing started in the past few months. I've noticed it's harder to swallow the same amounts of food that I used to and actually got something stuck in my throat the other day.

I really hope it's nothing serious, but it's hard not to expect something bad after seeing how this started for my dad.

Hey, SuperCatimus!  COLD!  BE GONE!!!

Hi, all!

Just a "where the heck has 1TT been" update.
1). Vacation
2). Prior to that - a co-worker was let go after not passing probation, thus, I get his work and can't get online when I want to.
3). IM training hitting its peak for the next 3 weeks.
4). Most importantly - family BALANCE.

BT gets sent to the tail end of life; but, don't think for second that I don't miss ya peeps!

Had the ultrasound today.  The tech couldn't give me results, but she said she didn't think I really had anything to worry about.  Not sure if that means nothing is there or nothing serious is there. 

I also made blackberry jam today.  There's a picture in my blog.

That's probably a good sign.

Before I had my ultrasound, the tech was really friendly. As she did the procedure, she got quieter. At the end, I asked how it looked, and she said, "You need to talk to the doctor. Is your appointment soon?" I had surgery less than a week later....

Blackberry jam. Yummmmmmmmmm.

She asked about nodules a bunch of times and whether they'd found any previously.

I hope it's nothing serious, either.

I've noticed that I feel like my throat got smaller and food swallowing has been a slight issue (I do eat fast and don't chew my food up like I should, but never had issues).  That's weird.

It is kind of a weird feeling.  I don't feel like I've changed the way I eat, but sometimes food gets stuck.  Nothing like almost choking on licorice when no one else is home.
