@merpreb The day after being sedated is the typically the worst. It flares everything else up. I react poorly to anesthetics. I see and hear things that I know are not real in some way and the discomfort will pass. I stay home and away from others until I know my head is on straight or at least as it ever can be-Yes, a funny.
The doctor did a biopsy and was going by what he saw and having been doing this for years he was confident enough to say 3 months until another look. I now know what to watch for and to call the urologist and NOT the primary. My records are a mess no matter what I do. I had blood work done on my thyroid and TSH is waaay low. Still nothing about the results of this. All I can do is refill what I have and continue what I was told to do. Calling gets me nowhere nor does using my patient portal. I honestly don't know what the primary does as I have not been able to get through to any of them. 3 have hauled butt out and now another primary with the personality of a warthog. Continue to try and give her the benefit of the doubt.
I need to rest until my head clears. I am coherent enough to stay home and not get behind the wheel of a car.

@parus- We'll talk later, rest!

@parus All I can think of right now is a singing warthog wearing a lab coat. ( the singing warthog in the Lion King ) I hope you find a better doctor and you made me laugh. I'm glad you're doing well. I take desiccated pig thyroid hormones. Some patients can't make all the components from the synthetic thyroid medication and only do well on the natural hormones that are bioidentical. My functional medicine doctor prescribes only this. Brand names are Nature Throid and Armour. If you are on prescribed thyroid hormones, TSH is supposed to get lower because it is thyroid stimulating hormone that causes the thyroid to produce hormones. If it's doing too much, it causes an overactive thyroid.

@parus Such good news!

Let me join the others in "three cheers for @parus." I'm so pleased for you!!!!
By the way, I also have the same problem with anesthetics, the day after is always fraught with anxiety for me and I feel very out of sorts. Wishing you a better day.
Enjoy your day at home and rest well!
