So after 8 months of wasting my time with a shitty doctor, who prescribed me with a harmful medication and a rude-ass nurse “practitioner” who was ANYTHING but helpful, I finally met a specialist who finally helped me figure out what was probably wrong with me, regarding my anxiety and weight problems.
He felt a lump in my throat and took me into another room to ultrasound my thyroid, they found two lumps (one hard, one soft) on both sides of my thyroid and one lesion. I was diagnosed with thyroid nodules, and a fatty liver.
They don’t know yet if the growths are cancerous or not, but due to the size it is concerning. They are going to perform a biopsy this week to test the samples. As for my liver, my doctor told me that likely resulted from college and my consumption of energy drinks. I might ask for an ultrasound or an MRI for that.
I was so happy that was getting all these treatments, but then I got the bill for these tools. Oh well, at least it’s more competent service. My doctor charged me $645 for my visit when he found out I had thyroid nodules, but my insurance paid most of it and now I’m stuck with a $194 bill. Damn.
I’m still battling with my first two clinics to not force me to pay for crappy services. The grievance and appeal teams are working on it.
All I can do right now is exercise, eat a specific diet for a fatty liver and work with my Chinese medicine doctor, who has been giving me herbs. She might have an herbal tea for my thyroid and liver she says. But she would like to know whether the nodules are cancerous or not.
Will mostly likely update.
