Oh and since I mentioned the heart problems, I did have my appointment. She wants me to have a 30 Day Cardiac Event Monitor and Echocardiogram done. I have decided to wait until my next panel of blood tests(in 4 more weeks) to see if that makes a difference. I actually was HYPER last time and that can cause heart symptoms.

Just noticed it had been awhile. Nothing has really changed. The Amitiza is still working,for now at least. I am feeling awesome. Since they switched me from Levothyroxine to Synthroid, I have noticed a huge difference. I feel great. I wake up before my alarm clock goes off. I have energy. I look good and healthy. I have my last appointment with my surgeon at the end of September. I also have the Endo appointment but I don't think I am going to go. My new PCP is very knowledgeable and now I have the correct diagnosis (Hashimotos) we can focus better on what to do. I am still so upset they all of my other doctors didn't think to check for Antibodies,welp that is why you have to be proactive no matter what you are dealing with!

How old am I again?

My 6 weeks was up on Wednesday. Doing pretty good. The Amitiza seems to be working. I have a deathly fear that it will stop working and I will have the distention again:( All is pretty good on the GI side of things. I had my first new patient appointment with my new PCP. I really like him. He is a nice guy and very VERY knowledgable. We ran a full panel of Thyroid tests today. We haven't ran a good workup in years because of my crappy doctor. I should get the results back next week. We also did a CBC and a Comprehensive Metabolic Panel.
Now to the interesting part. I told him all of my symptoms:the tingling,lightheadedness...etc He decided to do an EKG while I was there. The results are.................................................... I have a freaking Arrythmia. You have got to be freaking kidding me! I am 26 years old. Is anything about my health ok? I swear I have seen almost every type of doctor there is:/ I guess it is good that we caught it. He said it could be totally fine but could be a symptom of a deeper problem. He scheduled me an appointment with a Cardiologist next Tuesday. When will this ever end?!

All is going well. Some days are better than others and I still have the nausea but I am ok with it. I am taking the Amitiza twice a day. The last few weeks have been amazing. I have done more in that small amount of time than I have in months! I got the rundown of my surgery....over $50k! Wow, that is just crazy to me. Definitely worth it though!

I am so nauseous. I feel so horrible after eating,like I have the flu. I may have to break down and call the surgeon to see if he can give me something for the nausea.

Day 3

Today is day 3 of Amitiza. I am still distended but the Amitiza is making me have more bowel movements so it isn't as bad. So funny that it didn't work at all prior to surgery,without 7 feet of Colon it does. I hope things stay this way. I don't mind going a few more times per day. I am still very nauseous after I eat so that is another reason I think it may be the Gastroparesis. I really don't want to complain because I am a lot better. I am due for my next set of Thyroid labs so hopefully we can figure something out there too.
