Thyroid nodules are quite common, especially as we age up. I have them. They are seldom serious, but good to get checked out. Try not to lose too much sleep over them....are they looking at a needle biopsy?

With your history, and the fact that you have both neuropathy and myopathy, I am not surprised about the anesthesia problems.

Steroids do raise blood sugar, as do some other drugs. I know you are on IVIG, which is a non-factor in blood sugar. I don't know if you are on steroids other than what they just gave you.

I wish they would give you some time to heal from all this before they do any real testing regarding the blood sugar stuff. Seems like some down time to let your body heal is warranted....a couple of weeks to heal, normalize....then get tested....all you need is more meds to cause more problems...that may simply be the residual from other things.

Lord, how much can one person go thru in a short period of time?

I hope you feel better soon.
