Health Update #2

October 24, 2017

Dr. Baquero, Endocrinologist

Had a follow-up visit with her this afternoon. Labs show a small improvement so she’s going to keep me on the same medicine as before…Methimazole 20mg per day. Said again it’s going to be a long haul but I will slowly get better and all the symptoms I’m experiencing should slowly subside as I do.

The next 10 days are doctor days. Tomorrow I see my pulmonologist for my annual CPAP follow-up and will talk with him about the shortness of breath I’m experiencing. I think it’s just the weakness and lack of stamina, but we’ll see.

Also will see my prostate cancer urologist, Dr. Hudnall, on Friday. I’ve already gotten my lab results…PSA = 0, Testosterone = 0. Good news in the sense there’s not evidence of cancer re-occurring…bad news, no testosterone = no strength…double whammy with the thyroid.

On Monday I’ll see my cardiologist for the follow-up to the a-fib. Expect good report since blood pressure and heart rate have be really stable, and when it goes out of whack a dose of Inderol brings it back in line.

Change of subject…..I’ve pretty much reworked the blog site, so wander around and take a look. Let me know about all the spelling errors <grin>.

Thanks for all your support!
