Donor Insemination & Donor Egg/Embryo

I am tired of feeling so lousy.  I was assisting the surgeon in the OR on Friday and had a real scare.  All of a sudden I had to sit down or fall down.  The anesthesiologist got me in a chair and got a cart in to take ME to recovery.  He said I turned ghost white and my pulse and BP were very elevated.  I was diroriented and shaky and incredibly hot.  THey put oxygen on me in recovery.  The Drs. asked what was going on.  When I mentioned thrat I have Graves Disease they were very worried.  They watched me for awhile to see how I was doing.  He told me that I could go into thyroid storm and that is life threatening.  I felt very stupid becoming the patient when I was supposed to be helping on a patient.

I spoke with My DIL who in the RN for my endocrinologist.  She siad that I need to get it under control soon.  So, I asked about surgery and she said it is an option.  They have patients that choice that route all the time .  I am so glad that they understand my fear of the RAI.  So DIL is going to talk to Dr. and to the surgeon and get back with me this week.   I feel fine right now so I am not worried, but I do know I have to do something soon.

   

Oh Sheryl, that's so scary.  When I was diagnosed with graves, the only symptom I had was getting lightheaded and nearly fainting a couple of times.  It was such a dreadful feeling.  Thyroidectomy is definitely an option if meds can't keep the Graves under control.  Definitely talk with an Endo and see what their thoughts are.  Good luck.

Sheryl, that must have been so scary.  I hope that you can find a solution that works for you.  It's not fun facing a surgery.
