Getting there - I think
So I am hoping my doctor has some results back today from my thyroid blood work which I took on Monday. He is testing my TSH, total T3 and T4 and T3 update. I have an appointment with him on Sunday to discuss these and a possibility of more tests.
I still want to get my antibodies tested as well as a possible thyroid scan for the lumps I feel. I am scheduled to do blood work next Thurday for all of my other hormone levels (DHEA, Cortisol, etc.).
I also have an appointment Monday with a vascular surgeon to do testing for Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. I have been experiencing really bad circulation in my arms so my doctor wants to rule this out as well.
We pretty much have it narrowed down to these 3 things at this point. I pray that 2 weeks from today I will have a diagnosis - even though my goal is ultimately in a month. I want to be feeling better and on the right medication/path within a month.
My husband is going to Atlantic City for the night with his friend so I am all by myself tonight. Which I hate while I am sick because I am paranoid about something going wrong.
My mom is coming to see me for a while on Tuesday though which I am very happy about. Her and my husband are my 2 favorite people in the world. And my doggies :)
