Just had my endocrinologist appointment this morning & I remain a mystery *sigh*
She thought it was highly unikely to be post partum thyroiditis because of the time frame, but didn't rule it out entirely. She said it may be Graves Disease, so we're checking that at the moment. She said she had seen in literature some people can just fluctuate for no apparent reason, but she had never seen a case of it over 20 years. That'd be right, I'll be her first case LOL! The bonus was that she flat out refuses to do the RAI test while I'm breastfeeding, she said the other diagnostic tests will give a pretty good picture of what's happening without messing with breastfeeding, so yay for that!
So now I've had a million vials of blood drawn today & I get some of the results on Tuesday. Then in five weeks I have to have another lots of bloods taken & another appointment in six weeks. Until we can figure out what's happening I'll be having blood tests every four weeks, which I am just so thrilled about as you can imagine.
