Before anyone panics, I don't think it's that serious, especially if the endocrinologist just said to stop taking Synthroid for two days and have the test done again. I've gone to the hyperthyroid phase, but I don't think this means I've gone into Hashitoxicosis.
I wanted to go to the hospital to visit a sick friend because she had been in it for over a week. She spent most of the time sedated, under restraint and on a feeding tube. The abscess got cut out, but they needed to take care of the bacterial infection. She was in good spirits, talking and very ready to leave the hospital. I'm happy she's doing well.
In the meantime, I knew I was waiting for lab tests from my endocrinologist. I expected them to come back normal. After all, I had only agreed to have it tested in order to get someone to go to the ER for severe abdominal pain they were complaining about on a fibro forum. (The description sounded like a Kidney stone to me, but I am not a doctor and there were a lot of serious things that could cause abdominal pain.)
On the way into Indinapolis, I got a call on my free Lifeline phone. I recognized the number as belonging to my endocrinologist's office. I expected her to report that the tests came back fine and that she would see me in August.
That did not happen. When I heard the tone in the voice, it was not one of everythig's okay, it's okay, It was the tone of I'm delivering bad news which needs to be addressed in a few days. (Which sounds about right for hyperthyrodirism. I had low Free T4 and a TSH of .01. I'll have to call my doctor tomorrow and have him schedule a Thyroid ultrasound because the lump in the throat feeling with pain is back.
