Damn you, misplaced decimal point!
Jun. 15th, 2005 09:59 amOr, at least that's my assumption. Because I don't see any other reasonable explanation for my TSH being 2.13 on June 2nd and 83.2 on June 9th. It just makes much more sense for it to have been 21.3 on June 2nd, and some transcriptionist just made a mistake.
Of course, the possibility that they tested someone else's blood exists, I suppose.
At any rate, I go nuclear on Monday morning, and have my scan a week from tomorrow. Now all I need to do is wrest further orders for thyroglobulin and thyroglobulin antibodies tests from my doctor (his receptionist seemed to think that it would be a good idea to wait 2 weeks after the scan to do those tests). Keep in mind that for those tests to be effective, I need to be off my medication. For those keeping score at home, waiting 2 weeks would involve being off my meds for 10 weeks. To me, that sounds somewhat unreasonable. Call me crazy, but no-one needs to have me walking around with a TSH in the 3 digits, thank you very much. Certainly, I need to stay off the meds for a few days after the scan, to make sure that I don't need to have an ablative dose again. But two weeks? That's nuts.
Can I go back to bed now?
