Thyroid Update
>> 8/23/12
I just realized by going through old posts on here that I haven't increased my T3 thyroid medication back to the level it was at when I was feeling fantastic. See what thyroid issues do - messes with your memory and you can't think straight! I wasn't feeling the best I knew I could feel and now I know why! I'm glad I wrote it down here to jog my memory!
I "thought" I had increased it to the proper level but after reading - nope. I'm about 40 mcg away from that level. What a dumb ass I am.
Gallbladder Update
My husband told me it's been a long time since I've updated my blog. I didn't realize he even remembered the name of any of my blogs.
So here's an update on the gallbladder issue:
I had a bad gallbladder attack and went to the ER for it in mid-June. They asked me why I still had it (gallbladder). I told them because it's mine and I want to keep it.

(It was my fault I had it. I ate a Big Mac and french fries! I know I'm not supposed to but I get lazy about watching what I eat and overindulged big-time! I only have them if I go overboard on eating nasty food.)
Of course, by the time I got to the ER, it was over. They still wanted to put me on an IV and give me medication to stop another attack. I told them I don't have second attacks following the first. Oh yes, you will...that's how they happen. Hello, I just told you that is not what happens to me! I ticked off my ER doctor by refusing the medication. Sorry - I'm not going to fill a bed for you all night so we can look forward to a HUGE bill for something that isn't going to happen.
I have not had a french fry or big mac since that attack in June and I've not had any problems.
I did have an ultrasound done on my gallbladder with my regular doctor and it told me - - I had gallstones. Duh!
My gallstones are manageable by managing my diet. I choose NOT to have them remove an organ unless it is absolutely necessary. I am also reading a book to see if there is a natural way to remove those gallstones. The book is called The Liver and Gallbladder Miracle Cleanser.
Unfortunately, that gallbladder ultrasound also told me I had a lesion on my liver. I have to get a MRI done now so they can tell me whether it is something I need to worry about or not. Is that tumor non-cancerous or cancerous? Yeah me, right!?! With all the chaos around getting four kids ready for a new school year, I forgot all about calling around and finding an open MRI unit (I am severely claustrophobic so the regular MRI units just will not work). I will work on that next week I guess.
Might Need Surgery
>> 4/4/12
Three weeks ago I developed an abscess in an area you don't want an abscess. The doctor cut it in his office (oh joy!). I limited my activity the last three weeks (and hubby's "activity" with me - much to his annoyance...no shopping at a discount lingerie store for me). I had my three-week check up yesterday. Turns out the worst result happened that could have happened and now he wants to do actual surgery - one or two surgeries.
I want a second medical doctor opinion. I also want to know what natural options are available for treatment. Finding a doctor more inclined to treat naturally in Ohio - difficult!!! Ugh.
