Feb. 14th I went to a new endocrinologist she looked over the tests the old endocrinologist performed and said I do definitely have Hashimoto's Thryoiditis. She had me come back for a thyroid ultrasound. She found a multinodular goiter and is performing a fine needle aspiration biopsy on April 1st. She wanted to wait a little while to do the biopsy since my lymph nodes were very swollen. She is just thinking it was because I have been fighting an upper resp. thing for about two months now, but wanted to wait a little while to get a chance to check hopefully after I was healthier. I saw a gastroenterologist for long term stomach issues. He will be performing an endoscopy this Wednesday and possibly a test to check gallbladder function depending on the results of the endoscopy. I have had a problem with congestion in my ears majorly affecting my hearing even with hearing aids but there has been some improvement since being on methylprednisolone for six days and taking Sudafed. Hopefully the improvement continues. Well enough boring you with all this medical stuff. One good thing is the weather has been nicer here so I have been getting some more walking in with my dogs outside. Later all.Cheryl
