joonie, I am praying you get good news this afternoon! Don't forget to come back and let us know what the doc says.
Hmm....I wonder what it is about the color blue???? My fil will only wear that color and he is turning 90 this year. They are having a huge family reunion in his honor and we will not be able to attend because of finances
I know studies have been done about what colors make you hungry, agressive, sleepy, spendy, etc. All very interesting. I thought blues made you overactive and excited, I guess I am wrong.
Best of luck with all of your tests Joonie. You have certainly been put thru the wringer lately, but at least you can joke about it. Wishing you nothing but good news!
Huggin ya~~~~~~~
I hope you get some of the answers you're looking for and it's all good news. Joonie,
Hope your test results are very good. I have found you cannot read much into how the test was done or the tech's reaction. No use in trying to figure it out. If the last 2 came out OK odds are that this one will also be OK.
As you know, I have also had several new chronic illnesses pop up as of late and it can be depressing. I say lots of prays and keep my focus on the things I can control, like trying to take my meds, diet and excercise. I also babysit my 2 little granddaughters which really takes my mind off of things.
You and I have lots in common it seems. I am constantly subjected to my 72 year old mothers depressing comments about dying and who has died recently and all of the details of the death itself. I was complaining about my mom to my sister the other day and she said she told my mom about a year ago she did not want to hear about all of that stuff. So I guess I was the one person my mom felt she could talk to about all of this gory stuff. I finally told her that the reason I don't like being around her was because of all the "death talk." She has been lots better since then. Maybe you could ask your grandpa to stop with all the disturbing talk.

Relativeopathy is a genetic disorder.
Wow, Joon. I hope you get all the answers at these next appointments. *hugs*Oh, Joonie Honey! You sure have got a lot to deal with, don't you? I must have missed reading about your stroke, Sweetie. What caused it, do they know?
You have been in my thoughts and prayers a lot lately. It worries me, that you are so young and having to deal with so much.
Please know my heart is with you. Let us know what you find out, when you feel like it. You have a lot of people here, who are wishing you the best and saying prayers for you.
Take care! Much love, Nini
Hello Everyone. Thanks for the replies and prayers and well wishes.
GP said it looked ok. He asked me a bunch of questions like if I get out of breath, have chest pains... you know the normal questions.
He said I clearly am still having palpatations. My pulse is still high. It was 122 today. My BP was 118/78.
I told him about how my chest feels like something is on it, but only when I get shortness of breath, he said it will do that.
I told him about my water retension he said he did not feel he should give me a diaretic, because it might be a symptom of something else and he does not want to get rid of too many of my symptoms until I get to see the Thyroid doctor.
He changed me to Coreg from Coreg CR. He told me to finish what I have of the CR and then start the new. I will be taking Coreg 2 times a day, when I finish the CR.
Seems GP thinks my problems lie with the nodules on my thyroid. At least that is what he made it seem like to me & hubby. Hubby went with me... YAY!!
They are going to fax my file to my RD and Thyroid doctor tomorrow. So... hopefully next Thursday I will get some more insight from RD.
I go back to GP on May 8th for a follow up.
I am happy to hear nothing wrong with my heart.
Just glad to not hear bad news for once. Well... it is bad news, but it could have been worse.
I think he bumped me up to 50mg of Coreg a day. I was at 40mg. But my BP still gets a little whacky. Like yesterday... I could tell it was up most of the day, because my vision was more blurry and my face was more red. And when I checked my BP 2 times yesterday they were pre-hypertension, but my pulse was fine.
It is just weird how my pulse can be fine but my BP be high, or vice versa. Just seems odd to me. But I am a odd person, why not my heart being odd too? It's great the the echo came back good. Good news.
I'm scheduled to have one on Monday, and didn't realize I'll be boob mooning the techs, thanks for the warning!
Good luck with the thyroid doc...hopefully you'll get some answers there.
Keep us posted Joonie! So far so good- hope it continues in that direction!Joonie: Since your TSH levels were normal last August and continue to be don't be assuming you will have to endure a needle biopsy. Remember your RD isn't the endocrinologist. There are a number of other procedures which will quite likely happen before a biopsy is considered.
I was one of the lucky ones in that I recovered and have lived a full life after thyroid cancer. The survival rate of those having anaplastic(sp) thyroid cancer is low, usually less than a year after dxd. Anyway, the biopsy was the last procedure before surgery.
We all understand your concerns but you don't do yourself any good by looking for and assuming the worst will happen to you. You don't need sympathy but empathy. Take Care
hi joonie sorry never read the loooong post.. only read up to the
booby.. mooning..
Glad to hear things went well.
Sure wish I still had a Grandpa to come to dinner. Any Grandparent for that matter.
Watching Wolf - My GP told me that they will biopsy the nodules. Because the nodules at 1cm are now suppose to be biopsied. That is what he said. He said that if they were under 1cm they would just watch them, but since they are both 1cm that it is standard that they biopsy them. When GP said biopsy them, I was ready to ask my questioin of "How long after having a Nuclear Medicine Scan can you have another one?" Because the ultrasound tech she said that they would need to determine what type of nodules they were and she said they would probably do a nuclear medicine scan. But nope she was wrong.
I can see in the mirror where my neck looks puffy in the front. I just thought before it was fat
Lovie - He is not my grandpa, it is hubby's grandpa. Grandpa is a little on the nutty side. He has been since I have known him for almost 12 years now. Hubby says he thinks grandpa has been like that his whole life. I like Grandpa and all, but he demands too much attention. And if you do not give him attention voluntarily, he will make you give it to him. I would try to ignore him, but he talks so loud that he is all I hear, even if I am in my room, I can hear him talking. Let's put it this way... if I were to talk to a deaf person.... I would be able to hear him. Or he will talk until I acknowledged him.
It is just something about how loud grandpa talks that makes me really nervous & agitated. It is like how I get when hubby has the radio on in the car. It is all I hear and bounces around in my head. It makes me nervous and agitated. I do not know why I get like that, but I do. Loud people or music just sound much louder to me than it does to anyone else.
Like my daughter, I have to tell her to stop talking because to me she is talking "loud" and if I do not tell her to stop talking "loud", I will not be able to concentrate on what she is saying, but just that she is talking "loud" and only the first things she says to me is rattaling around in my brain, so I have no idea what else she has said.
Like if hubby has his music on in the car... I will be fine for the first few mins and then I start to feel nervous and agitated. We will be going down the road and I will start out by being "jumpy" at every little thing. If hubby gets close to going off the road I will cover my eyes and turn away then hubby will ask me why I was jumpy, I then tell him why and then he says I have attitude. If the kids are in the back seat and one of them yells I will jump and cover my eyes and then I tell them both to sit there and be quite.
It is hard to explain just how "loud" people, sounds, or things mess with me and how I can turn really nervous & agitated. I have always been like this since I was a kid. I use to stay in my room, because of people, sounds, or things being "loud".
Going to church I can do, but once they get to the singing part, it starts to make me feel the way I described above.
