lately i have complained about being tired (note the title of this blog is musings of the sleep deprived) and i figured this just had to with micah teething and being up all night but after discussing my symptoms with my ob/gyn while discussing getting put back on birth control she had me go see an endocrinologist. after talking with her and having her feel on my throat i was sent for an ultrasound and the next day i had more blood drawn for testing. after i got home from having the blood drawn i got a call saying that i have a "growth" on my thyroid and that once they run my blood they will figure out a course of action to regulate my thyroid and then do a biopsy. so now.... we wait. a lot.
we have to wait on the blood work to get back and then i'll have to get on some kind of medicine depending on what's wrong... it's still possible that something else is wrong on top of the tumor, like graves disease. and then i'll have to be on it for a while so i'll have to wait while my body regulates and THEN i can get the biopsy done. and wait around for results. at least i should have some answers soon and hopefully the meds will help with what ails me: the tiredness, the tummy issues, the headaches, the mood swings, the hot flashes.... stupid thyroid.
on a totally separate note i hate the new look of the blogger home page :P
