Happy New Year, everyone!
Since my last post, I received an appointment with my Endo department for this coming Thursday 11th.
Since being put back on carbimazole and propanolol, my heart rate in particular is back to normal. I checked with the Endo department whether I needed a blood test beforehand but was told none had been requested. Anyway, I'm not too worried about that as I will do my private test after.
Interestingly, since my last post. I decided to look at my hyperthyroid journey. So my initial issue began in 2016 when my stress levels were over the roof. I was put on carbi for 18months after which, nothing until after almost a year of interferon injections for ET ( MPN)
in 2021. I had not realised before or even put two and two together. I do now know based on all the research papers I have read that interferon injections can have that effect on your thyroid.
I am still baffled as to why the default option by consultants is to get rid of the thyroid??? Anyway, I'll post after appointment on Thursday. I have a list of questions and a list of tests to request to see what they will tell me.
Watch this space...😁
