My story....

Firstly, I was diagnosed with PSVT (episodes up to 280bpm) a few years back.  I got pregnant in March of 2006, around 6 months during the pregnancy, I began to have  a burning in my shoulder blades in my back.  It felt mostly on the right, but like fire.  I also had a similar sensation on my right front below my ribcage.  This was pretty much constant throughout the pregnancy.  My BP was 108/65, or around there for most of the pregnancy. I gained 20 lbs in approx. 2 weeks and my BP was borderline hypertension (like 139/???), and I was on Atenelol (only for the last 1-2mths of preg), yet the docs did nothing other than say I should watch what I eat.  I went in to be induced (due to being on the atenelol) a week before my due date. I spent the night in the hospital and then it became an emergency.  I began bleeding out and the docs performed a c-section, and found that well over half of my placenta was torn from my wall, (my son was perfectly healthy).  After all of this, everything seemed fine.  At my 6 week visit, my OB doc noticed my Alkaline Phosphatase level was slightly elevated ).  They monitored it for a few more months, it stayed elevated( now it's within normal limits).    Anyhow, I started getting eczema about 8 months ago (I've always had perfect skin), I also seemed to get a cold sore everytime I turned around (at least once a month), and I started being really tired (my son is a year old, I blamed it on that).  I took naps on my lunch break and everything.  I went in to the doc for tonsillitis, and he thought my thyroid might be a little larger than normal. He sent me for an ultrasound and sure enough I have a slightly enlarged thyroid, with a multinodular pattern and sequelae from an inflammatory process, as well as slightly hypoechoic parenchyma. My tsh was 3.44, and my t4 was .5.  They did an uptake test and it came up overactive (but we all know this can be thrown off by improper diet.).  My doc hasn't done anything productive to help me and I need answers.  I haven't lost ANY weight since 3 weeks postpartum (and I nursed for 8mths).  Also, he looked at my tsh and t4 again, and it was within normal limits (tsh-3.08 and t4-.71) .  My kidney function was down (but I took acyclovir for cold sores prior to the test).  I had an ablation in February of 08, however I have had some minor palpatations and minor episodes since (possibly due to thyroid issue), and I got my tonsils removed in March.  However, my thyroid has since gotten larger ( I feel tightness now when I swallow, and I can see it). Approximately 2 weeks ago, I began feeling much better, and my energy level has picked up some, however I am still wondering why all of this is going on.  I recently was able to get a referral for an Endocrinologist, and am scheduled for July 31, 2008?  When my Primary doc wrote the referral, he said that my thyroglobulin levels were slightly elevated...he never even mentioned this to me.  My TPOab is 317 (norm is less than 35) and my TgAb is 27 (normal is below 20).  I guess I'm still wondering if i'm just being over-reactive for wanting to be seen by a specialist.  I am currently on no medications, and I have no diagnosis, despite the months of being seen. I just don't know what I should do at this point.  Any suggestions will help. Thanks.
