my endo visit Mood
Tuesday, June 30, 2009 | A Frustrating story
I had my appt with the endo today. I at first thought it was gonna answer all my questions, but all it did was cause more.  She told me that she doesn't believe I have hyperthyroidism.  So I have to be off the meds for 6 months. I also have tons of labs and ultra sounds to get over the next month or so. In order to get an accurate reading I have to be off my birth control aswell. She said the estrogen is messing up with my levels not a thyroid disorder. That PTU should only be used for a limited timespan. She also said I have to go on a low sugar, high protein diet. I don't like the idea of any of this, but I will do it. She thinks I have a sugar disorder. Kinda like diabeties. To be quite honest I do think I have hyperthyroidism. I have so many of the symptoms that, to me, can't be explained by high sugar. Especially considering I had my sugar checked on a number of occasions and it was normal. I am scared to death of not being on my meds. I don't like this idea at all. My mom is worried about me and I am nervous as all get out. I just pray she is right. I want this to turn out good for me.

I know I haven't been on here or posted in awhile. To be honest I have been soo busy with work I have no time to come on here. When I do want to my computer starts acting up and I never get on line. About two weeks ago I was gettin ready for work and I lost my one (and only) left contact. So I make an appt for the eye doctors because I knew I couldn't drive with just one. I call work and tell them I will be late figuring it won't take more than an hr tops. I go there and she basically says my eyes are in bad shape. They were irritated by the constant contact wearing. She told me I wasn't allowed to wear contacts for awhile, maybe forever. She ended up dialating my eyes so she could fully check them out. That ment I couldn't see. I went to Lens Crafters to get my glasses. I still couldn't see so I ended up going to work and giving them a note from my doctor saying I couldn't work. Needless to say they weren't all that happy. After wearing my glasses the bulging in my eyes have gone down alot. They are basically "normal". Well my left is slightly bigger than the right, but the left always gave me more trouble. I just had my 26 birthday on April 14th. I am older, but I don't feel wiser. I am working on trying to get my stuff together, but so many things have been and are going wrong personally its hard to keep my head up. I am making a good new friend from work. Her name is Adia. She is really a nice person all around. One of the few who doesn't think Miguel is cute. Hopefully I can get on here more, but right now I am running on six hrs of sleep and I am exhausted.
