Health Bummer....

Just when you thought it was over...Ugh.

Here's the note I got from my endocrinologist.

Your lab results were good (see below).

The next step is for you to contact our clinic to have a Thyrogen Stimulation test, as we discussed.

You can call Renee at 877-xxxx to schedule it. You will need to be on a low iodine diet for 3 weeks prior to the test. You will be coming to the hospital 4 days in a week, likely in late September or in October, and will be having a scan in addition to the blood tests.

T4, FREE, NON-DIALYSIS 1.7 ng/dL 0.8-1.8

TSH 0.60 uIU/mL 0.40-4.50

THYROGLOBULIN <0.2 ng/mL 2.0-35.0

THYROGLOBULIN AB <20 IU/mL Less than 20

For more on why this just blows...(and the less than glorious diet is here)
