Today was my thyroid ultrasound. A student did it and the instructor checked her work after and said to the student pointing at the screen "did you get that?" What in the world could she have been talkimg about? I posted my whole story already and the moderator said no one can comment on my post because no one is medically trained. I live in the US so its not just easy for me to use the services here that she suggested because I can't do long distance calls and I have very little money. My health fear is so intense that my teeth chatter to the point to where they feel like they are going to break and all of my muscles in my body shake uncontrollably. I tried to book a mental health councler but it's $200 per session and through insurance it's $1500 per session which is the co pay. The insurance in the US is a joke. So I'm alone here with all of this anxiety with no outlet and no one to talk to. I'm very sorry for being on here with no diagnosis but I don't know where else to turn. We do have support groups here on face book but someone tried to black mail me on there so I refuse to use it. I don't know what I'm expecting anyone could say here to help me so this will probably be my last post. My prayers go out to everyone here. If you read this, thank your for listening.

  • I am so sorry to hear you are under so much stress and feel isolated @Scorp111278 any one of us going through this has probably felt the same at one stage or another, but the early days until you know exactly what you are dealing with can be very difficult.  I am 8 months post operation now and doing well, apart from some vocal cord problems and I am waiting for another operation on them.  The health insurance in US sounds a nightmare to be honest and I am so pleased that we have our NHS free care, as I don't know where I would be right now.  I also believe we are able to have some counselling sessions if needed and although I haven't used this, I have heard other people who have done and felt so much better for them too.  Where are you now with your treatment, are you waiting for your Ultrasound results?  Try not to worry, which I know is easy to say but not so easy to do.  Take care x

  • I'm waiting for my results. No one set me up with a follow up appointment or told me how long. I'm at work right now but my anxiety is so severe I'm having trouble staying at work. My main fear is if they do find something I don't have enough money to pay for the surgury copay.  Thank you for replying. 

  • Not easy for you at all @Scorp111278 wish I could say something to make you feel better.  I hope you hear something soon, either way it is better to know what you are dealing with, or not as the case may be.  Fingers crossed for you for a good result.
