Drum roll please……………..Celiac results

And they are……………………………………NEGATIVE.  Told ya in the last post didn’t I????  I knew they would be too.  Nothing is ever easily explained with me.  When I started this medical mystery journey they were looking for myasthenia gravis because of my symptoms and it turned out to be iron deficiency.  Yeah they are related…not!  No one thought to [...]

The Plan

Had my appt with the endocrinologist today.  My TSH is still down.  0.27 this time.  My T4 is down too.  It sometimes is but not always.  Not surprising they are down since I am still having symptoms.  We talked of going on anti-thyroid meds, but she wants me to wait a bit longer and try to get [...]

“May contain Milk” What?????

Having recently been tested for Celiac disease I’ve been reading a lot of food labels recently.  Actually I’ve been reading food labels since my daughter was diagnosed as milk & soy intolerant at age 2.  But I never used to read them for myself.  Not yet doing any gluten free eating but just reading labels [...]

Testing for Celiac

Thanks to Regina (who has been a wonderful resource for my commentors….thanks Regina!!!)  I called my endocrinologist before my latest round of lab work and asked her about the connection between Celiac disease and the other problems I have been suffering from.  I told her about the:

Iron deficiency

Vitamin D deficiency

Autoimmune thyroid disorder (Grave’s)

Generalized joint pain

Vague [...]

Asthma….sucks

Had a sick visit with the pulmonologist a few days ago.  I had a cold about a month ago and did my usual routine….lots of fluids and airborne.  Usually works like a charm!  And this time it was too but then my son had to have open heart surgery and being with him in the [...]

101 in 1001 Updates

I thought it was time to look over the list and see what I had done and mark them off.  I surprised myself that I actually had done a few things!  Here they are:
 
#33  Save all my son’s Kindergarten projects….I have all of them tucked neatly in a file drawer.  It will be fun to [...]

Thyroid and Iron updates

I missed my last thyroid appt (oops, forgot and overslept!!).  Actually that isn’t like me at all but my 4 year old son had had open heart surgery the week before so my mind was in another place.  I got the appt rescheduled for a month later but knew something was up with my thyroid.  [...]

Neuro/Headache appointment

I forgot to add to the last post that I had to get up this afternoon to see my neurologist.  Uggh to say the least!!  I go every 4-6 months to see how my headaches are.   I get atypical migraines and tons of tension headaches.  I am still getting quite a bit more than I would [...]

Cryoablation Done

Glad to have that over and done with!!  The procedure itself wasn’t too bad.  Even with 10mg of oral valium I watched the entire thing and chatted with the gyn doc and ultrasound tech!!  It took maybe 20 min or so.  Then they asked me to sit up….
And I thought I would die!!  That is [...]

Almost there….

I had my lupron injection and I gotta say that menopause is NOT something I’m looking forward to!!  It is medication induced on my part but man these symptoms suck!!
Today I went in to get my cervix softening gel placed so I should have quite the crampy night at work I’m told.  I guess we’ll [...]
