Hi, my name is katie. I have had many health problems over the years, I ll be 55 y/o in July and 3 month s after my 41st birthday by body literally turned on me. Brief snopios; Dx: IBD THEN CRYSTAL S IN MY GALLBLADDER, THEN I HAD A INTESTIONAL HEMERORIGE, GIVING ME AN ADDED DX OF ACUTE& chronic ulcerative COLOTIS, WHICH WAS CONFIRMED ON ENOCOPOY AND SPECIAL BLOOD WORK SENT TO A LAB IN CALIFORNIA. THEN I HAD AN ACUTE CASE OF PANCREATITIS.WITH MY MEDS AND MY PAIN I HADN T HAD A DRINK IN ALMOST A YEAR. I WAS ONLY A SOCIAL DRINKER TO START WITH. WHEN THEY DID AN MRCP AND AND ENDOSCOPE WITH ULTERSOUND, THEY FOUND I HAD PANCRES DEVISIM, from birth. I was also told nothing more could be done until my gallbladder is removed. Which. It was, but thing s didn t get any better. By this time I ve lost over 60 lbs . and no one could tell me why. When I had a cardiac event, out of the blue, then the hospital did a full workup on my thyroid and found I had hosimoto s with critical high levels. The tsh was at 80 and the anti bodies were just as dangerously high. After 3 years of treatment im doing OK, except I ve recently gained almost 80 lbs. I am only 5ft tall. This extra weight is extremely difficult to live with and again no one can give me answers. I ve had two surgeries on my back due to spinal stenosis, and degenerative disc disease, but that was 1995 &1997. I was also Dx with multiple sclerosis in 2007 or 08. Can t quite remember. Recently when having a routine sonogram of the thyroid, they found a 3mm growth on my laranex, or along side of it. I had a sono guided needle aspiration, which the doctors had a very difficult time getting the job done. They managed to get liquid but no tissue. I was told that they did not have any abnormal cells, so I need not worry. They also found a large amount of enlarged lymph nodes in my abdomen and just above the pelvis. With the metal in my back ct and mri scans come out distorted, and I also have a enlarged growth on my arm by my elbow, which is growing. I plan to get it removed as soon as I can find a general surgeon that participates with insurance. what I m concerned most about is the growths, I ve been very tired, sleepy and have been having some trouble with swallowing, coughing & hoarseness. I am scheduled to have another sonogram done in 3 weeks. I plan on getting a second ENT opinion if the growth is still on my laranex. I was told by the doctor that lymph nodes in that area is not a common occurrence which is why they biopsy them ASAP. But I feel as though they just left me hanging after the results came in. I was not asked to make a follow up appointment with the Dr nor did he call me. I realize with so many autoimmune problems it makes things difficult for all concerned. It s frustrating and the past 14 years have been very difficult. I never know from one day to the next how I m going to be. Very hard to make long-term plans, etc. Any advice? Professional thoughts on what s happening to my health.
