Default Finally Results!

Hi All,
I finally received the results of the other thyroid tests...it is definitely hyper and my brain is not producing any TSH..the doctor is calling a specialist but since we live in the boonies there is only one he recommends and she is booked until early sept. He started me on PTU meds to stop the thyroid from over producing and a beta blocker for the heart racing....I have been too scared to start the beta blocker....plus I have heard they inhibit weight loss...I have to sit down and talk to myself about this. He wants me to come in once a week for blood tests to see if the ptu is working. As for the diabetes he said that the last blood test was 136 after 15 days on induction!!!! That is for the nurse who bad mouthed LCWOEing....and the past two mornings it has been around 115!!! He was also amazed that I lost 15 lbs since my last visit! So finally getting some answers, thank you for a place to sound off.....Nancy
I loved this quote.....A skeptic is a person who, when he sees the handwriting on the wall, claims it's a forgery. (That's for the nurse too Haha)
