so i went to the endicrinologist today. i get to start taking hormones for my thyroid. i am destined for hypothyroidism, (hashimoto's disease) and i'll certainly have to take them anyway. the dr. wants me to start now, even though i am not having any real symptoms, except the nodule on my thyroid causing my thyroid to toughen up (in texture) in an effort to get rid of the thyroid. in some instances, the addition of hormones relax the nodule, and soften it, and make the nodule go away. that's what he'd like to see happen, but it's more likely that it will not, and my thyroid will deteriorate more and not produce enough of the necessary hormones to maintain my system and i will have to take meds anyway.
i met a old friend at the market a few weeks ago and mentioned that i was dealing with some thyroid issues. he's a funny little man, a health freak, raw food eater, and he told me he could talk to me for hours on how to best maintain my diet and avoid any throid problems. i think i'm going to reach out to him again. let him talk my ear off and see if any of it sinks in and helps. roger is a good guy. friend of the x, so that should piss the x off, too.
