Hi Really?
I've been thinking of you a lot lately - I cannot understand how after so many years, so many doctors cannot help you.

Recently, they found that I have many nodules on my thyroid, the biggest being 5cm x 2.5cm - not small at all. Throughout this time all the blood tests came back absolutely normal. How can that be???

I really had to push my GP to have the ultrasound in the first place - thank god I did, as the biopsy has come back as Atypical, so I'm up for surgery soon.

When seeing the Thyroid surgeon, and talking about my extreme thirst (remember I have not been been diagnosed with SJS)and he has done some testing on my Parathyroid gland. The parathyroid controls the calcium level in your blood. An overactive Parathyroid gland can cause many symptoms including GERD, heart palpatations, osteoporosis, kidney stones, high blood pressure.

Please take a look at this website -  http://parathyroid.com/

I'm not sure if this could be part of your problem, but if a simple blood test gave you some answers that would be good 

Sending you many warm gentle (((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))

You are a carrier if the swabs come back positive for MRSA but you don't have any signs/symptoms of infection (fever, elevated WBC, etc...).  If it was me and I was still positive with symptoms of infection I would be pushing for additional treatment to get it cleared up.

Really? We have a state and government funded program that will provide transportation to the doctor. Check with your Human Resource Office and ask them about this.

I have family members and friends that use this a lot because sometimes transportation is needed to get to the doctor while other family members are working.

This sounds like something that would be a big help to you.
