Little update

Last week the thyroid nurse rang me to ask if I had any questions about my results, so I took the opportunity to ask for more information about this thyroglobulin business. She explained that the reason they need to do an MRI is because the radioiodine scan cannot tell us why there is thyroglobulin, whereas an MRI can. She went on to explain that sometimes thyroglobulin can go away it's own, and it would be great if that could happen! The other possible outcome is that it is a node that the surgery AND radioiodine didn't quite get before. If it is a node, its clearly resistant to the radioiodine, so I might have to have MORE surgery to get it out. Something which I really don't want to go through again! We don't really know what is happening for sure, so I'm trying not think about all the What Ifs too much. I'll go crazy if I do. 

What else? Oh, I FINALLY saw a physiotherapist. Had my first appointment last week and he gave me a few exercises to do. All in all it went okay. I just find it very difficult to explain exactly how I'm feeling, to any sort of medical professional. This is problematic when you're trying to get the help you need! 

Calcium is still an annoying thing in my life. I am on six calcichews a day right now (adorable name for a horrible supplement!)  Despite this, I am still having tingly feelings. I remain convinced that low immunity affects, but when I mention it to any of the endocrine staff, or any of the thyroid specialists, they say they've never heard of that happening. I think I need to get some chewy vitamins again, and down some Berocca, just to keep the immunity up! I am still having weekly blood tests, but my go-to vein appears to be packing in, now. It's getting fed up of these blood tests. I know how you feel, vein. I know how you feel. 

So, nothing is really new. I wanted to do an update anyway, though,  just to get all these new developments in one place!
