I was up at the Mayo Clinic again this week and no definite answers, but they've added an endocrinologist to my team. The Mayo GI had suspected some type of endocrinological involvement, and apparently, my TSH levels came back "as abnormal as is possible" on the hyperthyroidism end. However, neither the GI nor the endocrinologist feel that hyperthyroidism, in and of itself, could cause the severity of my symptoms....so they're doing more tests. I call in a week to get the results back from the endocrinologist's blood tests, and based on the results, I'll either go back up for a couple days of nuclear medicine scans...or have tests for malabsorbtion (spelling?) affecting my small intestine.
I'm not losing weight, have actually gained a couple of pounds, but I still can't eat much and generally don't feel too good. I'm not getting worse, but I'm not really getting better either.
In other news, if you want to help out with the adopt-a-family (needy families at the middle school where I work) book collection, please do so ASAP. I need the books to be at my house by next weekend so I can wrap and sort them for delivery to families. We just had a couple of families added to the list. Here's my registry, but remember, you may also choose your own books: Book Registry
(The number of purchased items also includes things that were purchased for last year's drive, just FYI.) Thanks in advance for any help! If you can't participate though, I understand.
