I can't say thank you enough for helping me understand, and for being patient with me!
So sorry for the length of this post, but these are all the labs blood/urine the neuro ordered plus the thyroid labs my primary ordered. The only lab missing is cryoglobulin - that will come with the rest of my results. I thought it was a pretty comprehensive work-up. Did they miss anything?
As to the thyroid - I have several small cysts < .5mm and one solid (was complex till FNA), dominant 1.2 cm nodule. As far as I know - none of my glands are involved. I even just had CT scans of head, neck and chest with and w/o contrast and all was normal.
