Default thyroid

They watch my thryroid too due to a nodule. So far no problems but they don't want to confuse any symptoms with MS.
I have also heard that thyroid issues are very common with MS.

i'm sorry i can't help with the thyroid Q's.
however, your records are yours legally. you may ask for copies of test results, a dr's dictation, anything. she can't deny you that.

it's too bad that she found something wrong and won't discuss it with you until the end of aug. is this your pcp? if not, maybe your pcp could get the test results and talk to you sooner.

keep us posted. good luck.

I'm sorry about the additional dx Lady. I hope it's easy to deal with.

Thanks for the good thoughts and your replies.

I guess I will have to wait for the end of August to get more information.

I thought more people have Thyroid problems with MS. Hmm

Four years ago when I have a C-spine MRI all the contrast went to the Thyroid. It was mentioned in the Impressions part of the Radiologist report.

The sizes of them, where located and the fact that they were solid. He suggested I see a Endo doctor and get a biopsy done of the largest one. I did. My Neuro sent me to one.

So for years I have been followed up since the biopsy. Since my last doctor wanted to operate because it grew, I got a second opinion, then this new testing. I seem to collect diseases and disorders. Many are auto-immune. Not uncommon to get more than one..or two..now three.

I will let you all know when I find out. She won't talk on the phone about it, she wants to discuss it with me. Then I can have a copy.
Thanks for listening.
