The Doctor... and My Bad Habits.

Well, I went to the doctor yesterday.... and well, the results were somewhat dissappointing. She checked my thyroid, which was swollen (go figure), and listened to me talk about the symptoms I was having. She said she thought I had hypothyroid, but she also thinks I have interstitial cystitis. She took some blood but she has to run some more test and I will be back at the doctor 2 more times in the next 2 weeks. I have to have a thyroid ultrasound and then go over the results with her. Fortunately, hypothyroid is very treatable. However, there isn't really much of a cure for IC, which is a huge bummer. So that is the update on the doctor's visit.... I have to go again.

In other news, I have quit biting my nails. Now, I know what you are probably thinking: "Big deal. Its not that hard."
I beg to differ. I have bit my nails since as far back as I can remember. I have tried to quit several times before, but it was to no avail. This time it is different. I am on day 7 and I have not bit them. This is a huge accomplishment for me. I have had to keep a nail file and and nail clippers at my desk at all times, but it seems to be working. My nails are looking healthier already! :)
