At least I know I’m not crazy (or do I?)!

Can’t have a simple sore throat anymore!

July 31, 2008 · 2 Comments

Yesterday I woke feeling a little…off. And as the day went by I could feel the telltate signs of a head cold coming on. Woke up at 3am this morning with a throat that felt like I’d been swallowing razor blades. So…bearing in mind the warnings of my Dr., rang her office as early as I could. I sort of assumed she’d say something like “See how you feel tomorrow” but no. Turns out they take this sore throat thing very seriously. I had to go get a full blood test as soon as possible and make sure they process it urgently. This is to check there’s nothing funny going on with my white blood cells. So currently waiting on results which should be back in the next hour or so. Of course in waiting I’m feeling better – throat feeling a little better, no fever. Really tired but then I didn’t sleep well. Work is not thrilled I’m off sick…especially as I only have a week to go and I’m done with them (yay!).

I’m also having some intense tingling in my left hand that seems to have started at the same time as my increase in meds. When I talk to the Dr later I’ll ask them what they think this is. My GP looked up drug interactions but couldn’t find it so hopefully the endo will know more.

OMG all the dramz! Ready for a holiday.

    Thanks! Finally just got word everything is normal so drama for nothing. Better to be safe than sorry I guess. Hoping now my next blood test in 3 weeks (getting to be an expert at these!) will show some improvement in T3!
