Here is where the fun begins (i kid, i kid). She didn't think my extreme of symptoms would just be because of the thyroid since it wasn't THAT far off.
Got the first test back and things were pretty out of whack, so she did it again to make sure there wasn't an error before freaking me out or referring me. Now I have been referred to a hematologist and I'm waiting on them at MD Anderson to get back to me on setting up an appointment.
Based on what I've read things don't look all that great from my lab tests...I've put them below and would love to know what I'm in for.
I'm only 32, a mom of 2, full time working and competitive triathlete
Here are some of the results. Original list is much longer, but has loads more of it that she was trying to rule out (rheumatoid arthritis, celiac, hepatitis, etc)
