An imperfect science

So, I talked to Dr. Winmill's nurse today about my lab work and guess what? The antibodies that would be present in my blood if I had Hashimoto's diesease weren't there. So now we are back to square one! Talk about frustrating. I was just getting used to the idea of this disorder and it's effect on me and my body. Now I have no idea what is going on. All my labs came back normal except for someting called Thyroid Stimulating Hormone. This is the hormone that goes from my pituitary gland in my brain to my thyroid gland. The lab forgot to test for that and so my doctor sent a message back to have them test it and then they will let me know. My doctor is going out of town on Monday so unless they get the results back to my doctor by the end of today, I won't know anything until the Monday after that. Talk about frustrating. I definately have a goiter and I might have a nodule still, but what is causing them is now a mystery all over again.
I guess what I can fall back on is that I am displaying no symptoms and am not in pain of any kind. I really am lucky that I have been able to discover this goiter before it actually began to effect me. I am trying to just keep my head level as we go through all these up and downs, but needless to say, I am frustrated. I will keep going on and keep this up to date. But the biggest blessings are that we have a great family and that we have health insurance.  Matt has been so supportive and understand through all of this and for that I am grateful. Matt is absolutely the biggest blessing of my life. And the fact that we are sealed for time and eternity in the temple means that no matter what, we will always have each other. How wonderful the gospel of Jesus Christ is.
