On my wl journey at last
Hi everyone
Thanks for the replies to my earlier thread. Have just got back from Taunton hospital, well we visited a couple of places on way home as was a bit disappointed.
I have been having sort of palpitations over the last few weeks, and feeling on edge and nervy, and can't seem to sit still. Am also not sleeping well. I have had a few things on my mind, the op, and problems with my daughter, so wasn't sure if this had caused the palpitations.
Anyway, saw my doctor on friday and he recommended that I ask them at Taunton when they took bloods today to check my thyroid again, as I may be slightly over compensated with thyroxine, which can also cause the same symptoms.
To cut a long story short, the anaesthetist wants it all sorted before he will agree to do the operation, which may set me back a while. I was gutted, as many of you know I have been trying to get this op for four years, and have only just got funding after being turned down twice before.
So, nothing I can do until Monday when I will go to my GP, and ask them to phone Taunton for blood results, and if tsh level is still a bit high, to reduce my dose from 200mg to 175, to see if that stops the heart racing.
I know they are only looking out for my safety, apparently it is really dangerous to operate when there are heart problems, and they want to see it all settled down, but I was sooo disappointed.
Never mind, moan over now, am going to bed and try to relax and de stress and see if that helps as well.
Good night everyone and thanks again for your good wishes and continued support, so nice to know you are all there for me and everyone else on the site.
