Tam,
I did indeed end up in the ER yesterday and all night. They ran a few tests and one of the thyroid test showed an abnormal number ( I aske for a copy and he "forgot" to give it to me). So I have no idea which test or what the number was.But he said, from looking it, it is likely an overactive thyroid.
He did an EKG and it was also "abnormal" so they have me on a 24 hear monitor.
He suggested my dr. do an ultrasound on this knot in my neck- he said it could be a goiter or just a very swollen lymph gland but my white count came back just fine, so he seemd confused.
He was nice but he was an ER doctor with about 100 patients and really did not have the time (he even said that) to do all he wish he could for me.
He gave me an option to be admitted and monitored or just go home with this heart monitor, I chose to come home. I figured I'm a few miles from the hospital and sleeping in my own bed is much cheaper!
THanks for all the feedback.
I would love to know more, Maxime, about the progesterone cream and it's affects. I am REALLY wondering if this is the link.
