They started me on 50 of synthroid and I am to come back in 2 months to the endocrinologist. he ordered repeat blood tests and a scan of the thyroid. He said he felt a nodule on the right side, that is the side that was removed. The thymus scan showed no nodules, but they did not mention if they saw hyperplasia. Drats! I was really praying for hyperplasia and a thymectomy with big hopes for a remission

The neuro is putting in the request for IVIG, 5 days of infusion. It should take > 4 hrs each day so I will be out of work for a while again. They said is would take about 2 weeks to coordinate. Did you all need recovery time after the procedure? Should I expect to go back to work the next day or will I need a couple of days off? Please let me know what your experience is in this matter. It is a health agency that will be coming to the house.

thanks
