Hi,
Im new to the forum. I am 37 and recently switched endocrinologist. In ’09 I went to my general phys. “feeling crazy” along with irritable major depression and stomach irritabile all the time. She sent me for colonoscopy, prescribed antidepressents and referred me to GYN.
When I came back and still felt miserable she did a thyroid test. I got a call to go on synthroid for the rest of my life.
I then asked to see an endo. 1st one dismissed me 2nd was very agressive with test( uptakes, U/S, etc) 3 months later prescribed PTU. over the 3 years He had me on 15 pills. The last straw was Hydrocortisone for 4 1/2 months. Talk about roid rage. Whoa, along with the other side effects. I left in Dec.’12, I was on 15 pills a day and not getting better.
My last ultrasound found 2 nodules. My new (3rd) endo. sent me for biopsy and switched all meds. Im on methimazole 5mg, from 20mg in January. One nodule benign, other is suspicious, The slides were sent to John Hopkins and they said the same. So now I am going to another endo/surgeon, requested by my current endo. for another biopsy. Then the question is to remove or RAI???
I feel like a ginuea pig. I question everything now? I just want to get better. I hate feeling so tired and depressed.
