Another Appointment

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This time with my ophthalmologist. And it's another early one. I think I'm starting to like going to these appointments early in the morning. Yes, I feel a bit sleepy for most of the morning but it goes away after a while. We got back home a couple of hours ago but I couldn't blog or surf online because I COULDN'T READ!! The doctor dilated my EYES that's why. So I had to wait before I could do anything that involves reading. Doctor's report is good. He said that my eyes are looking great, I mean as far as the TED or Thyroid Eye Disease is concerned. He mentioned that my TED may or may not be related to my hyperthyroidism so it's possible that even if my thyroid problem is gone, I may still have TED or vice versa. Hopefully, both will go away in the future. My next appointment with him is in about 6 months for a check-up and that's going to be sometime in 2010 already! Wow! I can't believe we're almost done with 2...

Thyroid Problem It is...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We got back from the doctor's office about an hour ago. We went to an ophthalmologist today who was referred to us by a family doctor because my main reason for going to the doctor was my eye...the left one in particular. This is the doctor that ordered the CT Scan for my eye. So that's the main reason for my visit today. The CT Scan didn't show any problem with my eye. That means no growth or anything that may cause my eye to pop out. Thank goodness. But guess what it showed? I have sinusitis...duh! I know I have it although I'm not taking anything for it..only for my allergy. The doctor called it an 'incidental' result since he's not really looking for that. Anyway, the ophthalmologist did his thing...checked my eye, measured them to see if the left is protruding [it's not]. They took a picture of my optic nerve and told me to come back in 2 months just to see if something's changed. He basically told me he's certain...
