One more post, this one with good news:

The thyroid doc says I'm doing fine. He is tweaking my dose a little, but everything's good, and he doesn't need to see me until my one-year checkup in November.

So now, just one more medical appointment (followup with the GP next month) and I'm DONE. Yay!

Spoke to the cardiologist a couple hours ago. The echocardiogram was perfectly normal. I don't need any more tests. I do not have heart disease. My early beats (which feel to me like skipped beats) are something everyone has, and are not in themselves a sign of heart trouble. So, basically, I'm done.

For those keeping score, this brings my current diagnosed illnesses and/or health issues to 0, unless you count a little contact dermatitis on my hands from our dishsoap, and some mild-to-moderate joint pain that all but disappears if I don't eat dairy products.

I have spent the last 5 years dealing with one or more moderate-to-serious health issues. This feels better than I can even express to you in words.

I think I may just go squee in a corner for a bit; don't mind me.
