Hida scan (negative- still in pain)

I looked at the results before the doctor and it seems that my gallbladder is emptying correctly

However, I haven’t had anything to eat or drink other than water since 9 PM last night and it is 1030 this morning and I’m getting pains on my side. They’re not extreme pains. They’re just very uncomfortable pain so I don’t know if it’s gas or if it’s my gallbladder since I do have big stones.

Its really frustrating.

Neck/chin

So it’s been a while since I’ve checked my thyroid with a sonogram, but I know that it’s quite large. I finally went to a rheumatologist and she alluded to me having elastic skin. My mom has a huge turkey neck and my dad kinda had a little bit of one too…

Is this something because of weight change or is this because of the thyroid? I’m trying to do everything in my power to lose weight naturally and I’m so scared that I’m gonna have this drooping chin and neck.:(

Besides the levothyroxine, which I’m not sure if it’s working or not. Is there anyway to speed up my metabolism? I really think this is why I have gallstone flareups. I just had a. Hida scan done… and even tho it seems ok… didnt hear back from the doc… I get pains on my right hours before and after food intake! :/

Side sleeper help!

Its been a whole year trying to find a mattress!
Currently sleeping on an icomfort- serta from 2012?

I know this cant be good! I have had a love hate relationship with it the whole time… spent $1500+ on it

Even when I messed up my disc last year it was fairly ok but I thought I wasnt getting better because it was oldddd!

Every time I try a bed… you got the sales person play with the stupid frame and then my back and hips hurt and ai cant try a new bed for a while :/

Sales people put me on the pro adapted firm and I wanted to like it… but my knees and chest felt heavy on it … more so when I slept on the left not right side…. I hate when they have me sleep on my back with the lumber … cool if I am watching tv or reading a book but ai doubt, Ill sleep like that…

I do remember kinda liking the blackbeauty rest …but not sure how cool it will be…

I already bought the tempered pro pillow… I have a love hate with it 4 months in … some days I like it.. other days I use it with another pillow!

Any help or insight would be great

Hard upper abs

Wondering if any of you have your upper abs that is fat, but hard…. like my lower abs below my belly button are fat…. but a lot more looser like as if I was filled up with gas.

Trying to figure out if this is a Hashi symptom? For years now it almost looks like I am preggo!

I know my scale has me a year younger for my heart age and 4 years older for metabolism :/

For a while 25mcg was giving me palpitations and feeling like I’m racing, but I guess I’ve calmed down since then my TSH and T4 have gone back in range. I still get very tired spells and not wanting to eat because I feel full :/

I have dropped 10 lbs on my own cause I had stone flareup but has anyone gone on midi or allura?

Platelets

My platelets have always been a little higher than the range…. One of my doctors picked up that it could’ve been because I have Hashimoto and I’m inflamed.

Out of nowhere, my platelets have come down now I did have an upper respiratory still not completely recovered …. But my platelets have come down even from Monday … another doc ran a cbc!

I have had covid a million times and my platelets have not come down….
Just wondering if anyone has ever dealt with Us. And if this is good, or this can mean something.

Rant- Hashi/gallstone

My last blood work was okay… but I have come to find that I have gallstones… quick Google search and hooray it’s tied to this bs disease.

The end of April it was so bad I had some shallow breathing because it hurt… did an ultrasound… not much has changed from last year… go on the brat diet! My favorite thing mayo on a sandwich bothered me!

Got some weight off which usually my body does a dance since that helps regulate a little…

Just to get a super bug! 102 fever, coughing up infected phlegm. It was the Saturday before my prep for my first ever Endo/colon and as much as I was not looking forward to the prep I was excited to see if they see anything wrong with my gut so maybe I can fix all these problems. I’ve had Endo before since I have GERD.
Well I had to postpone due to my breathing being so bad… urgent care didn’t give me anything for pulmonologist gave me prednisone and a Z-Pak. I always feel amazing coming off the prednisone because it helps the inflammation in my body.

But that didn’t last long because I had another attack. It was really hot in my house and my heart rate was up. I have an on again off again pain towards my lower back not upper back, so I’m not sure it’s my gallbladder. Weirdly I am still coughing up clear sticky phlegm 2 weeks after the drugs! I am sick of going to doctors!

I wish I could just find one doctor they could figure out what’s wrong with me…. I feel like my body goes into flight or fight all the time because of flares up! I am always sick enough where “we believe you”. But not sick enough we can fix it long term!

-le sigh!
