Update
After my latest thryoid ultrasound it was discovered I had a multinodular goiter. I then had a fine needle aspiration biopsy performed. Luckily the results from last week showed no malignancy yay! The endocrinologist feels that I am at high risk for diabetes and recommended metformin to prevent it and I have agreed to start taking it at this point. I had an endoscopy on Monday for long term stomach issues. All it showed was mild gastritis and heartburn. The bile aspirate showed no crystals so no apparent gallstones. I go back soon for a follow up with the gastro. Until then I need to make sure I take my Aciphex at least an hour before breakfast and use whatever I can to best manage my stomach. I am having an MRI of my knees done soon. Luckily my x ray shows no need for knee replacement yay! If the mri turns out okay then I will be getting gel injections for knee pain. If not they will do a repair of what the problem is and then cortisone injections. I went back to the ENT this past week for a follow up. The congestion that was really messing with my hearing is gone thank goodness. He said my eustachian tubes don't function correctly so that is why I may periodically get problems with them luckily this time it was managed with methylpredisone for a short period of time and Sudafed. If there is ever a time that doesn't work I may have to get tubes in again. I am hoping to avoid that of course. Well that is all for now. Later all. Cheryl
