Hi everyone
Well I had my ultrasound done this afternoon and the doctor who did it could see that I had some kind of nodule on my thyroid exactly where the pain was. He measured it and took a few images. I could see it myself on the screen.
Even though it was the Rheumatology Dept who ordered the scan, he will send the report out to my GP as he feels its not Lupus related and I should be referred to an Endocrinologist. Anyway my next Rheumy appointment isnt until November this year so he says thats too far away. So I have to go to my GP next week.
What with all the poking around my neck is really sore at the moment.
I feel sad this evening. It seems every time I have gone for some test or other lately something else shows up :worried: This year alone I have 'collected' arthritis in the neck, osteopaenia, high Blood Pressure, serious fluid retention in my legs and feet, carpal tunnel in both wrists and now this! And its only July
Anyone else got Thyroid lumps or nodules and if so what happened? I know the chances of it being benign are very high - I just cant stand the thought of more poking and prodding. Im rightly fed up.
Luv n stuff
