Well I went for the echo yest. and they said it looks good as far as they can tell. Some of the pictures werent good and they wanted to inject something into me. I said, um no way! I also had ds there with me as a little learning experience.
Then I went to the internist. First I had a student. He was slower than molasses and he had an accent I couldnt understand. He was so slow we were the only people left in the place with the dr. Needless to say she rushed through me. She keeps insisting I get the sleep study and holter monitor.
I got a flu shot because my immune system stinks. It takes me like 3 weeks to get rid of a cold etc.
Worst part was I gained another 12 lbs
Umm this was in like the last 6 weeks again. I am really upset about this. She says I need to go on a diet. I asked her if she though the thy med needs to be increased. She said um no you need to stop eating etc. and only eat protein and no carbs. every 3 hours.
Remember I said how the last blood test from the endo had my tsh going up slightly. I dont know if even a slight amount could cause this much weight gain.
Honestly I am not eating all that more just normal as always and I am suppose to go see the endo late Jan. I think.
She sent me to this dr. and I am really not liking her all that much. I just think she has no bedside manner and is test crazy. She wants to see me in 3 months and see if I lose any weight etc.
I honestly dont know if I should go back to the drawing board and find another gp/internist.
Oh and then I asked about this stress test at the cardiology place. They said yeah, its 4 hours with dye etc. I said what if something goes wrong? They said they will call an ambulance.
So I asked the internist if I could to it in the hosp. because dh was sitting there saying he didnt want me to even have it etc.
So she is going to ask the cardiology dept. if I can have it in the hosp but she said usually they only do it there for the inpatients etc.
Well if they say no we shall see where to go from there.
My head spins and I am getting so sick and tired of all this medical stuff. Thank heavens the only other thing I am doing now is the mammo.
I am def going to be needing and enjoying that disney vacation next month!
OK. enough of my carrying on. Check in when you can and give an update everyone. Hope everyone is great.
My dh is on his presentation trip. We shall see what happens. I think tomm. is the q and a sessions.
I said I will ask about scheduling it when I go for the echo. She did say the dr. can pull up the preliminary results that afternoon so that would be good I guess.
