Jane, you ignorant slut! (if you don't get the reference you're too young!)

Here I am again, in a weird medical place. Hypothyroid forever, all of a sudden my blood work indicates hyperthyroid. I mean .. it happens, but how often, and why? Dr. Google isn't a good idea, so for now I have been removed from my thyroid meds and am getting more blood work done in a few weeks. If the
results still indicate hyperthyroid - it will be time for a thyroid scan to see if the nodule I have is 'hot', meaning, producing hormones. 

Also in the dugout is anemia. PPPFFFTTTT!! I was a bit anemic at my last 6 month checkup but the doc gave me iron to take and I didn't think much of it. Obviously, since I stopped taking the pills pretty quickly. Now I am more anemic than before. This time the doc is worried and has ordered an upper GI, and I may have a colonoscopy at the same time because of my history of colon cancer (with a small C), we will see what the GI guy says tomorrow when I go for a quick consultation appointment. 

My doc is apparently worried that I have some bleeding going on somewhere, or something worse since he added a CEA to the blood work he ordered to check my thyroid. Sigh-h-h ..

Here's the thing - I FEEL good! Exercise, losing some weight, having a bit of energy, I've felt like I've been getting the physical part of my life together lately. 

Blargh.

Where's Roseanne Roseannadanna when you need her! "As my good friend Richard Fader always said
"IT'S ALWAYS SOMETHING"!"

Yep, Jane is an ignorant slut - and I am probably 100% fine! Let's hope, anyway. I'm voting for a problem with absorbing iron. Not sure what they do for that, hopefully just supplements. Sounds like the best result for the anemia. The thyroid? Who knows!?!?!
