uptake so low scan was cancelled

What does this mean? I can't find anything online about this. The tech even accused me of throwing up the pills yesterday! I am so upset and confused. My uptake was only .12, not enough to do the scan. I see an endo April 23 but I am scared to wait so long.

What were your labs like before the test? That test just means your thyroid just wasn't taking up the iodine that was in the pill. They don't have to accuse you of anything like that. They just probably havn't seen a test that low before and they should have taken the time to complete the test.
Your appt will come soon enough. I know it seems like an eternity. Stick with it.
My labs were:
TSH 0.12
T4--normal (they didn't tell me the number)
T3--normal
Thyroid uptake was 0.0125
The doctor's office called today and told me they want to see me, even though I was supposed to see the endo April 26 and not see my general MD until May 3.
I feel really light-headed and tired and keep sweating, and I noticed today that some of my hair has come out, and my nails are starting to break. I have long, thick hair so it doesn't show, but I saw it when I was blow-drying my hair this morning. I am still trying to lose my pregnancy weight, so I'm not losing a lot of weight.
This is no fun. At least I'm not alone. Thanks.
