another new worry. BP has seemed to stabalize and they are going to cut my one medication in half because of the symptoms I've been experiencing but are going to have to monitor my BP carefully as last time I was taking the lesser amount my BP was way up. She reviewed my carotid scan and although didn't show any blockages it did show a cyst on my thyroid. I will have to go for a thyroid scan to see whether it's possibly cancerous or perhaps a goiter. They drew blood to determine whether I'm hypothyroid or hyperthyroid and I'll need to schedule this test and then just wait for the results. I have to tell you this news has really scared me. I guess on the positive side if you want to call being in menopause a bright side that has definitely happened and my cholesterol and HDL readings are excellent so just trying to stay focused on the good stuff.

Gosh, I wish the path were clearer for you! Obviously, keep us posted, and I'll say prayers for a good outcome for the cyst. Hopefully you can get that appointment soon to get to the bottom of this.
