Wink Doctor Visit

Hello to All,......once again thank you everyone for helping me through this with all your wonderful comments, concerns and wisdom!
I went to my doctor yesterday....for the bloodwork results. I was down 8 pounds according to their scale, my blood pressure which has been up for 3 weeks because of trying Rogaine & the thyroid was down to 130/80, my blood glucose was down almost 30 points. He said this was amazing and asked what I was doing, I told him about LCWOE, he said "oh yes I have heard this is a wonderful plan for diabetes!" (I almost fell over dead!) He said that right now he is just going to check the BG every month and see how it is because he thinks I can keep it down! soooo happy!

The thyroid was a different story...he says that it is very serious because my brain is not producing any TSH and my neck is swollen, possibly thyroiditis too.....he is running a few more tests but said he would let me know today and he wants me to follow up with a specialist...he knows one who he said and I quote "is the best"! He said she isn't afraid of alternative medicine and that I will like her.

Gosh it is so good to get to see my regular doctor again...I told him he is never aloud to take a 2 week vacation again! The other doctor was a nut....My DR. spent 45 minutes explaining why I feel so sick and what to expect...thank goodness because I thought I was losing my mind.....Well off to make something wonderful for breaky....take care all and thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Nancy
