We drove 40 minutes to have the endo look at me and say, " I really don't see anything wrong with your test results. Your TSH is normal, your thyroid feels just fine. The growth is just a swollen lymph gland."
He was nice but obviously doesn't think there is any issue. He is running some more blood test to check my white/red count, liver enzymes, calcium and such but he said he felt this was likely more a reaction to stress and anxiety than anything.
So maxime.. move over and let me join your "frustrated" club.
I literally sat in the parking lot sobbing in the car.. Then I started laughing (which confused my husband). I said, " Do you realize I am sitting outside the doctor office crying because he says NOTHING is wrong??" Then he cracked up too.It is ridiculous to want something wrong physically, but I guess I just thought that would explain things more thoroughly.
I guess I just have to wait on the rest of the test (which I am sure will be just fine) and then it's back to square one.. or actually back to hearing " bipolar 2."
I guess I just can't grasp that a mental disorder could possibly create all these phyiscal symptoms but I suppose I am wrong.
It's just frustrating frankly. I would rather have any diagnosis than bipolar (because of it's role in my family history).
Thanks for all your input and help lately guys. You are the best.
