Don't know if I posted here before or not. I have had thyroid disease since just after my oldest was born about 6 years ago. I have been hypo (was taking 125-150 synthroid for 5 years) since until my son was born a year ago, when my goiter came back. Thats when they said I was now hyper even after staying off my meds for one month to do the uptake scan.

Now I am finally at a point since last summer that my levels have come down with tapozole that the Dr said that if everything is well at this weeks visit then he will schedule me for surgery.

I'm kind of getting cold feet. On one hand I think that what if I can control this with meds and I don't need surgery? But then I remember how my collar feels on my neck, like its choking sometimes and it would be nice to know its taken care of ya know?

I havn't had a biopsy, just an ultrasound and uptake scan, so I'm not sure of if there is actual cancer in there or not, just my Dr. doesn't think it is. Its just odd that the dumb thing went bass akwards on me and went from hypo to hyper that quick.

oh well. Just ranting I guess.

Saying "I can't" is a bad word at my house.-Adrienne
