Yippeee Friday Roll Call

Thanks, Christina.  Got the shaker ordered too from Click.  Only a little over a dollar in shipping charges which I thought was really great.  I'll let you know when I get it.

My original post about my health is posted below along with the results of the rest of my lab work.

Edit ..........  I rcvd the rest of my lab work tonight and it looks like I'm fighting some type of infection.  Quite a few things are out of range.

White Blood Cells 12.5 H
MCHC 32 L
Neutrophil Count 10.1 H
Neutrohils 81H
Lymphocytes 12 L
% Saturation 18L
TSH 12.78 H
Free T3 2.10 L
Vit D 28.6 L

My Ferritin is at 9.7 and it was at 6.3 in October so it has come up a little.

Waiting to hear back from my endocrinologist and family doc.  I'll keep you posted.
*********************************************************************************************************
For those that have been following my blogs from time to time... I had an appointment with my surgeons office on Wed.  They did do lab work and a portion of the results came back today and low and behold, I'm not crazy like everyone thought I was  .  Apparently my thyroid is way out of wack.  I was surprised because it was normal in October when they did blood work but I'm wondering if it has anything to do w/ the low ferritin levels and increased amount of iron I'm taking.  So, I'm already on thyroid meds but my surgeon said it needs to be increased or changed right away.  He already faxed the results over to my endocrinologist for his review.  I will call his office tomorrow to make an appointment to see him.

So, half the battle is finding what is off and now I just have to get the right meds to make me feel better.  It's kind of interesting because the symptoms of thyroid problems are very close to the symptoms of depression so I guess I will forgive the person that pretty much told me I was depressed/crazy and needed to seek professional help.
Thanks for all your continued suport.

I'm glad that now they at least have an idea of what to look at and how to start getting you back to 100%  I know that half the battle is just getting the right testing done to prove that the way we are feeling isn't just 'all in our head'. 

Wishing you continued luck and good wishes for health! 

Thanks Carol.. I'm looking forward to feeling normal again.

Hello everyone, had my final appointment with my surgeon today. Only 1 1/2 weeks left.  So excited. I was able to ask my last minute questions. So I feel even better about my decision.  Is it weird to be happy to know that my mom can spend the night with me at the hospital?  I even told him that I have an overprotective mother so he better watch out.
