Well all my tests results are in and at 31 I feel I am falling apart. I see a specialist tomorrow and I pray she will shed some light but from my results my family DR says that she thinks I could have thyroiditis? She said I may need radiation?

To top it today my MRI shows that I have 2 bulging discs in my back and a tear! I am sore all over anyway, today is the first day I missed from work because I am so damn overwhelmed! I am always on the go and I feel jipped! My daughter is 4 months old and it is hard for me to take care of her lately!

" Just make sure you ask if you have a temporary condition or if it's a permanent thing that won't go away by itself(you'll need some kind of treatment) You have a baby, you shouldn't have RAI at this time anyway, if worse comes to worse and you have Graves disease, you can take meds for it.As far as your back,iIseemed to develop more pain in my neck and shoulder area with this, I don't know how it's linked but a lot of people develop some kind of pain with this. It usually subsides once your levels are normal again.I went to a chiropracter and it really helped. "
