7 days? Whoa, I didn't think it would be that long! I thought it was more like 2. Guess I will see in the a.m. what they say. I think it depends on the level of radioactive iodine you get. I am...

Well the results are in.... Good news: the scan showed an enlarged thyroid but not nodules, lumps, bumps or any other issues. Bad news: thyroid uptake showed definate hyperthyroidism. So, I go to...
Hi Joy, They have taken me off my synthroid completely. They kept cutting my dosage back little by little with no change in my labs. So i have been off totally for a month. I am having the iodine...

Thanks for the comments thus far. I do have to say I have an excellent surgeon who took the time to explain how the whole digestive system works (complete with drawings). She was very honest about...
Ganglion cyst...that's it. That's what I had. Thanks for refreshing my memory!...
I am scheduled to have my gall bladder out May 26th. The surgeon plans on doing it laproscopically as long as she feels it is safe once she is in and sees what she is dealing with. Planning on coming...

Well, the doctor call me this morning with the results of my blood work. Seems my thyroid levels are too low and is probably causing a lot of my issues. She is reducing the strength of my Synthroid...

Nice to know I am not alone! I am sure my husband thinks I am a big klutz! Dropping things and tripping on nothing. And like FreeSpirit it comes on periodically. I have the cheapest cell phone out...
I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease 11 years ago. Back then "gluten free" was rarely heard of. Labeling and readily available information has gotten soooo much better. There are so many more gluten...
