Doctors Appointment Follow Up

Its been a few weeks but after some blood tests, ultrasounds and and a few other things the results are in. The ultrasound showed a small cyst on my left side that has been there since Abby was born. My OB at the time biopsied the cyst to be sure it wasn't cancerous, which obviously came back with good results. Since then the cyst appears to be shrinking but my OB will watch it over time.

As for my blood tests, there was a little more to be found there. My thyroid levels were within normal but on the low side of the scale. They had decreases since my last blood test but not by much. I will not be treated for hypothyroidism but I will be monitored. What was discovered with my blood tests is that I am Vitamin B-12 and Vitamin D deficient. The B-12 deficiency isn't horrible and is being treated with a low dose of over the counter vitamins. The Vitamin D deficiency, however, is pretty significant. I am being treated with a high dose of Vitamin D via OTC vitamins but if those don't work properly then its a prescription from there.

The lack of Vitamin D and B-12 may be the reason I find myself so fatigued and find it hard to lose weight even with proper diet and exercise. I am hoping that keeping up with a supplement regimen with help to rid myself of these deficiencies as well as change some of my current issues. Only time will tell, but at least I have some answers at this point. It feels good to finally start the ball rolling and figuring out what is going on for me. On to the next step!
