More Doctors, More Tests

Hope you all in the Blog world are having a great start to your day! I anticipated getting our travel photos and related blog up today for my one reader to see, however I have a different topic this morning... Hypothyroidism.
I was diagnosed with Hypothyroid almost 10 years ago, about a year after moving to NC. I had put on A LOT of WEIGHT, I was LOSING my HAIR in clumps, I was very very TIRED. I figured I was just depressed moving away from my family. I had 2 kids that my sisters and my dad were not going to see growing up yadda yadda. Although I did have a bought with depression, not afraid to say it, it was my thyroid making things worse.
On Tuesday I had to go for my yearly checkup for my thyroid. Lots of questions... How are you feeling, Are you tired/fatigue, having heart palpitations? I say, I am feeling ok, yes I am always tired, yes I always have them it is nothing new, should it be? I wanted to say.... HELLO, you have been treating me for almost the entire time I have been diagnosed and in my chart it should say I have all this stuff and I know you have to ask but when the look on your face is shock about palpitations- HELP me out, should I be doing something about it??? So she feels my neck which is funny, yes you can feel it but the other doctor I normally see at that office makes me drink a little water to feel and she didn't so I am wondering hmmm, she must know alot about thyroid or know exactly where it is to feel OR is she just playing along!?! That wasn't nice, I know but you should know me... I HATE drs!!!! I hate having to stop my day and go, and wait and wait and wait FOREVER in the office for them to come in for 5 mins and write me a new prescription and send me on my way. I think since I go to that appointment once a year and wait and wait and WAIT they should have to listen to me babble for the same amount of time I had to wait for them. Even if I am just trying to be sarcastic, almost like a one woman show.
Then the doc sends me over to get blood drawn-UGGGG I HATE this more because my veins like to play HIDE & SEEK. SO after 5 mins of trying to locate a vein, she sticks the needle in and voila...NOTHING!!!!!!! I figured I am on my way to the heavens at this point, I have NO BLOOD!!! Not really my vein collapsed, typical. She used the smallest needle and then she moved the needle around in my arm trying to get the blood but nooooo my vein wasn't having that either. So she had to go to my hand, did you know it hurts worse to get a needle in the hand then in your arm? Well I will tell you it does!!!
Then they sent me to another woman who had to make a Radiology appointment for me because after almost 10 years of just being on medicine for my thyroid problem, I now have some swelling in that area. GREAT I think, just GREAT~ good thing we have insurance again!!! Well they got me right in the next afternoon. I went in and they did an ultrasound on my neck, where my thyroid is located. Of course I try to ask if it is anything that I need to worry about, the tech can not answer me, won't tell me anything, don't you just hate that???
Anyways...I got the phone call this morning @ 9:28am with my very vague results. They have found 2 nodules on the left side and are referring me out to an Endocrinologist. OK what does that mean??? It could be nothing it could be something. I am waiting to hear when my appointment is and I will keep you updated, just think good thoughts for me please =) I tried to ask questions on the phone but she couldn't tell me anything, wouldn't even let me know how big the nodules were, are they just forming or have they been there? Nothing!!!! If anyone has an endocrinologist friend and they can tell me the questions I should be asking when I go to the drs , drop me an email.
